-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

There is a chicken and egg problem between the block layer and dm in which the
gendisk associated with a mapping keeps a reference-less pointer to the
mapped_device.

This patch uses a new flag DMF_FREEING to indicate when the mapped_device is
no longer valid. This is checked to prevent any attempt to open the device
from succeeding while the device is being destroyed.

[akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled]
