style nit:

} else {
	/* interposer was removed */
	bio_list_add(&current->bio_list[0], bio);

Seems you're using this mutex to protect access to disk->interposer in
attach/detach.  This is to prevent attach/detach races to same device?

Thankfully attach/detach isn't in the bio submission fast path but it'd
be helpful to document what this mutex is protecting).

A storm of attach or detach will all hit this global mutex though...
