Bob Liu 7602843fd8 block: null_blk: fix race condition for null_del_dev
Dulicate call of null_del_dev() will trigger null pointer error like below.
The reason is a race condition between nullb_device_power_store() and
nullb_group_drop_item().

  CPU#0                         CPU#1
  ----------------              -----------------
  do_rmdir()
   >configfs_rmdir()
    >client_drop_item()
     >nullb_group_drop_item()
                                nullb_device_power_store()
				>null_del_dev()

      >test_and_clear_bit(NULLB_DEV_FL_UP
       >null_del_dev()
       ^^^^^
       Duplicated null_dev_dev() triger null pointer error

				>clear_bit(NULLB_DEV_FL_UP

The fix could be keep the sequnce of clear NULLB_DEV_FL_UP and null_del_dev().

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
