On an fs mounted using a sprout device, the seed fs_devices are maintained in a linked list under fs_info->fs_devices. Each seeds fs_devices also has device_list_mutex initialized to protect against the potential race with delete threads. But the delete thread (at btrfs_rm_device()) is holding the fs_info::fs_devices::device_list_mutex mutex which belongs to sprout device_list_mutex instead of seed device_list_mutex. Moreover, there aren't any significient benefits in using the seed::device_list_mutex instead of sprout::device_list_mutex. So this patch converts them of using the seed::device_list_mutex to sprout::device_list_mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
