Remove some branching from GEOM_DISK hot path.
pp->private just can not be NULL in those places. In g_disk_start() and g_disk_ioctl() both dp != NULL and !dp->d_destroyed should always be true if disk_gone() and disk_destroy() are used properly, since GEOM does not send requests to errored providers. If the protocol is not followed, then no amount of additional checks here give real safety. In g_disk_access() though the checks are useful, since GEOM blocks only new opens for errored providers, but allows closes. It should not happen if disk_gone() and disk_destroy() are used properly, but may otherwise. To improve cases when disk_gone() is not used, call it from disk_destroy(). It does not give full guaranties, but it errors the provider and makes GEOM block unwanted requests at least after some race. MFC after: 2 weeks
