commit d57f3374ba4817f7c8d26fae8a13d20ac8d31b92 upstream.
The call of __blkdev_reread_part() from loop_reread_partition() happens only when we need to invalidate partitions from loop_release(). Thus move a detection for this into loop_clr_fd() and simplify loop_reread_partition().
This makes loop_reread_partition() safe to use without loop_ctl_mutex because we use only lo->lo_number and lo->lo_file_name in case of error for reporting purposes (thus possibly reporting outdate information is not a big deal) and we are safe from 'lo' going away under us by elevated lo->lo_refcnt.
