vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call

Fix an obscure AB-BA deadlock in get_sb_bdev().

When a superblock is mounted more than once get_sb_bdev() calls
close_bdev_exclusive() to drop the extra bdev reference while holding
s_umount.  However, sb->s_umount nests inside bd_mutex during
__invalidate_device() and close_bdev_exclusive() acquires bd_mutex during
blkdev_put(); thus creating an AB-BA deadlock.

This condition doesn't trigger frequently.  For this condition to be
visible to lockdep, the filesystem must occupy the whole device (as
__invalidate_device() only grabs bd_mutex for the whole device), the FS
must be mounted more than once and partition rescan should be issued while
the FS is still mounted.

Fix it by dropping s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive().
