[PATCH 14/16] loop: Fix deadlock when calling blkdev_reread_part()

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Calling blkdev_reread_part() under loop_ctl_mutex causes lockdep to
complain about circular lock dependency between bdev->bd_mutex and
lo->lo_ctl_mutex. The problem is that on loop device open or close
lo_open() and lo_release() get called with bdev->bd_mutex held and they
need to acquire loop_ctl_mutex. OTOH when loop_reread_partitions() is
called with loop_ctl_mutex held, it will call blkdev_reread_part() which
acquires bdev->bd_mutex. See syzbot report for details [1].

Move call to blkdev_reread_part() in __loop_clr_fd() from under
loop_ctl_mutex to finish fixing of the lockdep warning and the possible
deadlock.
