[PATCH 2/6] btrfs: do not take the uuid_mutex in btrfs_rm_device

We got the following lockdep splat while running xfstests (specifically
btrfs/003 and btrfs/020 in a row) with the new rc.  This was uncovered
by 87579e9b7d8d ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker") which
converted loop to using workqueues, which comes with lockdep
annotations that don't exist with kworkers.  The lockdep splat is as
follows

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
  (wq_completion)loop0 --> &disk->open_mutex --> &lo->lo_mutex
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:
       CPU0                    CPU1

  lock(&lo->lo_mutex);
                               lock(&disk->open_mutex);
                               lock(&lo->lo_mutex);
  lock((wq_completion)loop0);

Usually the uuid_mutex exists to protect the fs_devices that map
together all of the devices that match a specific uuid.  In rm_device
we're messing with the uuid of a device, so it makes sense to protect
that here.

However in doing that it pulls in a whole host of lockdep dependencies,
as we call mnt_may_write() on the sb before we grab the uuid_mutex, thus
we end up with the dependency chain under the uuid_mutex being added
under the normal sb write dependency chain, which causes problems with
loop devices.

We don't need the uuid mutex here however.  If we call
btrfs_scan_one_device() before we scratch the super block we will find
the fs_devices and not find the device itself and return EBUSY because
the fs_devices is open.  If we call it after the scratch happens it will
not appear to be a valid btrfs file system.

We do not need to worry about other fs_devices modifying operations here
because we're protected by the exclusive operations locking.

So drop the uuid_mutex here in order to fix the lockdep splat.
