[PATCH 2/3] dm: release _hash_lock when removing device in remove_all

[Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch changes dm_hash_remove_all() to release _hash_lock when
removing a device.  After removing the device, dm_hash_remove_all()
takes _hash_lock and searches the hash from scratch again.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch, which changes device
deletion code to wait for md reference to be 0.  Without this patch,
the wait in the next patch may cause AB-BA deadlock:
  CPU0                                CPU1
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  dm_hash_remove_all()
    down_write(_hash_lock)
                                      table_status()
                                        md = find_device()
                                               dm_get(md)
                                                 <increment md->holders>
                                        dm_get_live_or_inactive_table()
                                          dm_get_inactive_table()
                                            down_write(_hash_lock)
    <in the md deletion code>
      <wait for md->holders to be 0>
