Hi Jens,

this series fixes up a possible race with the block_device lookup
changes, and the finishes off the conversion to stop using the inode
refcount for block devices.

Note that patch 1 is a 5.14 and -stable candidate.

Oh, and patch 7 is on its way to Linus via the btrfs tree.

Shall we get patch 1 queued up for next week, and then look at the rest
for the 5.15 block tree once the btrfs fix lands in mainline?
