4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz
commit 85b0a54a82e4fbceeb1aebb7cb6909edd1a24668 upstream.
Calling loop_reread_partitions() under loop_ctl_mutex causes lockdep to complain about circular lock dependency between bdev->bd_mutex and lo->lo_ctl_mutex. The problem is that on loop device open or close lo_open() and lo_release() get called with bdev->bd_mutex held and they need to acquire loop_ctl_mutex. OTOH when loop_reread_partitions() is called with loop_ctl_mutex held, it will call blkdev_reread_part() which acquires bdev->bd_mutex. See syzbot report for details [1].
Move all calls of loop_rescan_partitions() out of loop_ctl_mutex to avoid lockdep warning and fix deadlock possibility.
