block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open
The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex. So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context: blkid or other application: ->open() ->mutex_lock(bd_mutex) ->lo_open() ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) losetup(set fd ioctl): ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) ->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) ->trylock(bd_mutex) This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach: 1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open(): - for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex - freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open - both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already 2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.
