This doesn't fix the problem completely, there is still a race window.

lo_release
  if (disk_openers(disk) > 0)
   reutrn
   -> no openers now
		lo_open
		 if (lo->lo_state == Lo_rundown)
		 -> no set yet
		 open succeed
  mutex_lock(lo_mutex)
  lo->lo_state = Lo_rundown
  mutex_unlock(lo_mutex)
  __loop_clr_fd

And with the respect, loop_clr_fd() has the same problem.

I think probably loop need a open counter for itself.

Thanks,
Kuai
