block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open

Browse Source 
The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and
in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for
rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex.

So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may
fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context:

blkid or other application:
	->open()
		->mutex_lock(bd_mutex)
		->lo_open()
			->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)

losetup(set fd ioctl):
	->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)
	->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART)
		->trylock(bd_mutex)

This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing
lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach:

1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open():
	- for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex
	- freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until
	  clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex
	  in lo_open
	- both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already

2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in
lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.
