Subject: Staging: hv: fix sysfs symlink on hv block device
From: Ky Srinivasan <[email protected]>
commit 268eff909afaca93188d2d14554cbf824f6a0e41 upstream.
The block device does not create the proper symlink in sysfs because we
forgot to set up the gendisk structure properly. This patch fixes the
issue.
