A multithreaded namespace creation/destruction stress test currently deadlocks with the following lockup signature:

Tainted: G OE 5.2.0-rc4+ #3382 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ndctl D 0 2924 1176 0x00000000 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x27e/0x780 schedule+0x30/0xb0 wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle+0x8a/0xd0 [libnvdimm] ? finish_wait+0x80/0x80 uuid_store+0xe6/0x2e0 [libnvdimm] kernfs_fop_write+0xf0/0x1a0 vfs_write+0xb7/0x1b0 ksys_write+0x5c/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x60/0x240

In this sequence an 'nd_dax' device is being probed and trying to take the lock on its backing namespace to validate that the 'nd_dax' device indeed has exclusive access to the backing namespace. Meanwhile, another thread is trying to update the uuid property of that same backing namespace. So one thread is in the probe path trying to acquire the lock, and the other thread has acquired the lock and tries to flush the probe path.
Fix this deadlock by not holding the namespace device_lock over the wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() synchronization step. In turn this requires the device_lock to be held on entry to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle() and subsequently dropped internally to wait_nvdimm_bus_probe_idle().
