Ilya Dryomov fce4bd5793 rbd: avoid a deadlock on header_rwsem when flushing notifies
[ Upstream commit 0e4e1de5b63fa423b13593337a27fd2d2b0bcf77 ]

rbd_unregister_watch() flushes notifies and therefore cannot be called
under header_rwsem because a header update notify takes header_rwsem to
synchronize with "rbd map".  If mapping an image fails after the watch
is established and a header update notify sneaks in, we deadlock when
erroring out from rbd_dev_image_probe().

Move watch registration and unregistration out of the critical section.
The only reason they were put there was to make header_rwsem management
slightly more obvious.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
