[PATCH 2nd try v4] btrfs: drop uuid_mutex in btrfs_free_extra_devids()

[Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com>]

btrfs_free_extra_devids() is called only in the mount context which
traverses through the fs_devices::devices and frees the orphan devices
devices in the given %fs_devices if any. As the search for the orphan
device is limited to fs_devices::devices so we don't need the global
uuid_mutex.

There can't be any mount-point based ioctl threads in this context as
the mount thread is not yet returned. But there can be the btrfs-control
based scan ioctls thread which calls device_list_add().

Here in the mount thread the fs_devices::opened is incremented way before
btrfs_free_extra_devids() is called and in the scan context the fs_devices
which are already opened neither be freed or alloc-able at
device_list_add().

But lets say you change the device-path and call the scan again, then scan
would update the new device path and this operation could race against the
btrfs_free_extra_devids() thread, which might be in the process of
free-ing the same device. So synchronize it by using the
device_list_mutex.

This scenario is a very corner case, and practically the scan and mount
are anyway serialized by the usage so unless the race is instrumented its
very difficult to achieve.

(I didn't see this email in the mailing list, so trying again).
v3->v4: As we traverse through the seed device, fs_device gets updated with
	the child seed fs_devices, so make sure we use the same fs_devices
	pointer for the mutex_unlock as used for the mutex_lock.
v2->v3: Update change log.
	(Currently device_list_add() is very lean on its device_list_mutex usage,
	a cleanup and fix is wip. Given the practicality of the above race
	condition this patch is good to merge).
v1->v2: replace uuid_mutex with device_list_mutex instead of delete.
	change log updated.
