[PATCH v4 1/4] 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.

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.
