Hm, you are right. It's a mutex.
The warning occurs only if I turned on CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

add_disk() is called without md->type_lock.
Call flow is like this:
dm_create
alloc_dev
blk_alloc_queue
alloc_disk
add_disk
blk_queue_bypass_end [with 3.7-rc2]
table_load
dm_lock_md_type [takes md->type_lock]
dm_setup_md_queue
blk_init_allocated_queue [when DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED]
elevator_init
blkcg_activate_policy
blk_queue_bypass_start <-- THIS triggers the warning
blk_queue_bypass_end
blk_queue_bypass_end [with 3.6]
dm_unlock_md_type
blk_queue_bypass_start() in blkcg_activate_policy was nested call,
that did nothing, with 3.6.
With 3.7-rc2, it becomes the initial call and does
actual draining stuff.
