[PATCH v2 0/4] super: allow waiting without s_umount held

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey everyone,

This is an attempty to allow concurrent mounters and iterators to wait
on superblock state changes without having to hold s_umount. This is
made necessary by recent attempts to open block devices after superblock
creation and fixing deadlocks due to blkdev_put() trying to acquire
s_umount while s_umount is already held.

This is on top of Jan's and Christoph's work in vfs.super. Obviously not
for v6.6. I hope I got it right but this is intricate. 

It reliably survives xfstests for btrfs, ext4, and xfs while
concurrently having 7 processes running ustat() hammering on
super_blocks and a while true loop that tries to mount a filsystem with
an invalid superblock hammering on sget{_fc}() concurrently as well.
Even with inserting an arbitrary 5s delay after generic_shutdown_super()
and blkdev_put() things work fine.

Thanks and don't hit me over the head with things.
Christian

Changes in v2:
- Rename various functions according to Jan's and Willy's suggestions.
- Remove smp_wmb() as smp_store_release() is enough.
- Remove hlist_unhashed() checks now that we wait on SB_DYING.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230817-vfs-super-fixes-v3-v1-0-06ddeca7059b@kernel.org
