s390/dcssblk: fix lockdep warning

Browse Source 
dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while
calling del_gendisk(dev_info->gd), which in turn tries to acquire
disk->open_mutex. Then there is dcssblk_release(), which is called
with disk->open_mutex held, and tries to acquire dcssblk_devices_sem.

Lockdep reports this as possible circular locking dependency (CPU0 =
dcssblk_remove_store, CPU1 = dcssblk_release):

[   44.948865]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[   44.948866]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   44.948867]        ----                    ----
[   44.948868]   lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   44.948870]                                lock(&disk->open_mutex);
[   44.948872]                                lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   44.948874]   lock(&disk->open_mutex);
[   44.948876]
                *** DEADLOCK ***

In practice, this deadlock should not happen, since dcssblk_remove_store()
checks for dev_info->use_count != 0 after acquiring dcssblk_devices_sem,
and breaks out before calling del_gendisk(). dev_info->use_count will be
decremented in dcssblk_release(), protected by dcssblk_devices_sem.

Still there is no need for dcssblk_remove_store() to hold the
dcssblk_devices_sem until after calling del_gendisk(), as this only
protects dcssblk internal data. So fix the lockdep warning by releasing
dcssblk_devices_sem earlier. Also move the segment_unload() loop up,
similar to dcssblk_shared_store() error path, no need to do that after
calling del_gendisk().

Also change dcssblk_shared_store() error path, where dcssblk_devices_sem
was also released only after calling del_gendisk(), and a similar lockdep
warning could be triggered (but also deadlock prevented by check for
dev_info->use_count).
