commit 2d1d4c1e591fd40bd7dafd868a249d7d00e215d5 upstream.
We hit an issue where a loop device on NFS was stuck in loop_get_status() doing vfs_getattr() after the NFS server died, which caused a pile-up of uninterruptible processes waiting on lo_ctl_mutex. There's no reason to hold this lock while we wait on the filesystem; let's drop it so that other processes can do their thing. We need to grab a reference on lo_backing_file while we use it, and we can get rid of the check on lo_device, which has been unnecessary since commit a34c0ae9ebd6 ("[PATCH] loop: remove the bio remapping capability") in the linux-history tree.
