There is a lock hierarchy of major_names_lock --> mtd_table_mutex. One
existing chain is as follows:

1. major_names_lock --> loop_ctl_mutex (when blk_request_module calls
loop_probe)

2. loop_ctl_mutex --> bdev->bd_mutex (when loop_control_ioctl calls
loop_remove, which then calls del_gendisk)

3. bdev->bd_mutex --> mtd_table_mutex (when blkdev_get_by_dev calls
__blkdev_get, which then calls blktrans_open)

Since unregister_blkdev grabs the major_names_lock, we need to call it
outside the critical section for mtd_table_mutex, otherwise we invert
the lock hierarchy.

Hi Miquèl,

Just a friendly ping, this patch is part 2 of fixing the lock hierarchy 
inversion between major_names_lock and mtd_table_mutex that was 
identified by Hillf Danton.

Best wishes,
Desmond
