(1) If I understand correctly, FMODE_EXCL is set at blkdev_open() only if O_EXCL
    is specified. How can we detect if O_EXCL was not used, for the reproducer
    ( https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=135385a8a00000 ) is not
    using O_EXCL ?

(2) There seems to be no serialization. What guarantees that mount_bdev()
    does not start due to preempted after the check added by this patch?
