-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jeff Mahoney While removing a device, another another thread might attempt to resurrect it. This patch replaces the _minor_lock mutex with a spinlock and uses atomic_dec_and_lock() to serialize reference counting in dm_put().
