Gerald Schaefer 1378a68344 s390/dcssblk: fix possible deadlock in remove vs. per-device attributes
dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while
calling device_unregister(), which in turn tries to acquire the kernfs
kn->dev_map rwsem for the device sysfs subtree. The same rwsem is also
acquired when using the per-device sysfs attributes in the device sub-tree,
and the attribute handlers then also acquire the dcssblk_devices_sem.

This can lead to a deadlock when removing a DCSS while concurrently
reading from / writing to one of its sysfs attributes. The following
lockdep warning hinted towards the issue (CPU0 = dcssblk_remove_store,
CPU1 = dcssblk_shared_store):

[   76.496047]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[   76.496054]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   76.496059]        ----                    ----
[   76.496087]   lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496090]                                lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496106]                                lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496110]   lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496115]
 *** DEADLOCK ***

Fix this by releasing the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore, which only
protects internal DCSS data, before calling device_unregister().
