dm thin metadata: Fix ABBA deadlock by resetting dm_bufio_client
[ Upstream commit d48300120627a1cb98914738fff38b424625b8ad ]
As described in commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between
shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata"), ABBA deadlocks will be
triggered because shrinker_rwsem currently needs to held by
dm_pool_abort_metadata() as a side-effect of thin-pool metadata
operation failure.
The following three problem scenarios have been noticed:
1) Described by commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between
shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata")
2) shrinker_rwsem and throttle->lock

3) shrinker_rwsem and wait_on_buffer

Fix these by resetting dm_bufio_client without holding shrinker_rwsem.
