commit ce7791ffee1e1ee9f97193b817c7dd1fa6746aad upstream.
The list of devices is protected by the device_list_mutex and the device replace code, in its finishing phase correctly takes that mutex before removing the source device from that list. However the readahead code was iterating that list without acquiring the respective mutex leading to crashes later on due to invalid memory accesses:

So fix this by taking the device_list_mutex in the readahead code. We can't use here the lighter approach of using a rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() pair together with a list_for_each_entry_rcu() call because we end up doing calls to sleeping functions (kzalloc()) in the respective code path.
