Subject: [PATCH 3.17 27/73] dm thin: fix a race in thin_dtr

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

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 17181fb7a0c3a279196c0eeb2caba65a1519614b upstream.

As long as struct thin_c is in the list, anyone can grab a reference of
it.  Consequently, we must wait for the reference count to drop to zero
*after* we remove the structure from the list, not before.
