[PATCH 1/3] btrfs: fix lockdep splat in open_fs_devices

There's long existed a lockdep splat because we open our bdev's under
the ->device_list_mutex at mount time, which acquires the bd_mutex.
Usually this goes unnoticed, but if you do loopback devices at all
suddenly the bd_mutex comes with a whole host of other dependencies,
which results in the splat when you mount a btrfs file system.

RIP: 0033:0x7fa3972fdbfe
Code: Bad RIP value.

Fix this by not holding the ->device_list_mutex at this point. The
device_list_mutex exists to protect us from modifying the device list
while the file system is running.

However it can also be modified by doing a scan on a device. But this
action is specifically protected by the uuid_mutex, which we are holding
here. We cannot race with opening at this point because we have the
->s_mount lock held during the mount. Not having the
->device_list_mutex here is perfectly safe as we're not going to change
the devices at this point.
