[ Upstream commit 70de2cbda8a5d788284469e755f8b097d339c240 ]

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different
modes is dangerous. Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a
new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous
caller. Dereferencing the dangling pointer will trigger kernel NULL
pointer dereference.

The following two cases can reproduce this issue. Actually, they are
invalid setups that must be disallowed, e.g.:

1. Creating a thin-pool with read_only mode, and the same device as
both metadata and data.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
"0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdb /dev/vdb 128 0 1 read_only"

2. Creating a external snapshot using the same thin-pool device.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
"0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdc /dev/vdb 128 0 2 ignore_discard"
dmsetup message /dev/mapper/thinp 0 "create_thin 0"
dmsetup create snap --table \
