Subject: [PATCH 4.9 31/44] bcache: fix a race between cache register and cacheset unregister

From: Liang Chen <liangchen.linux@...il.com>

commit a4b732a248d12cbdb46999daf0bf288c011335eb upstream.

There is a race between cache device register and cache set unregister.
For an already registered cache device, register_bcache will call
bch_is_open to iterate through all cachesets and check every cache
there. The race occurs if cache_set_free executes at the same time and
clears the caches right before ca is dereferenced in bch_is_open_cache.
To close the race, let's make sure the clean up work is protected by
the bch_register_lock as well.

This issue can be reproduced as follows,
while true; do echo /dev/XXX> /sys/fs/bcache/register ; done&
while true; do echo 1> /sys/block/XXX/bcache/set/unregister ; done &

and results in the following oops,
