There's a subtle case where if we're removing the seed device from a file system we need to free its private copy of the fs_devices. However we do not need to call close_fs_devices(), because at this point there are no devices left to close as we've closed the last one. The only thing that close_fs_devices() does is decrement ->opened, which should be 1. We want to avoid calling close_fs_devices() here because it has a lockdep_assert_held(&uuid_mutex), and we are going to stop holding the uuid_mutex in this path. So simply decrement the ->opened counter like we should, and then clean up like normal. Also add a comment explaining what we're doing here as I initially removed this code erroneously.
David, You might want to add this patch before commit e197aab25da2 (btrfs: do not take the uuid_mutex in btrfs_rm_device) in the misc-next. As this patch is preparatory of it.
