Commit 6cc8e7430801fa23 ("loop: scale loop device by introducing per
device lock") re-opened a race window for NULL pointer dereference at
loop_validate_file() where commit 310ca162d779efee ("block/loop: Use
global lock for ioctl() operation.") has closed.
Although we need to guarantee that other loop devices will not change
during traversal, we can't take remote "struct loop_device"->lo_mutex
inside loop_validate_file() in order to avoid AB-BA deadlock. Therefore,
introduce a global lock dedicated for loop_validate_file() which is
conditionally taken before local "struct loop_device"->lo_mutex is taken.

Fixes: 6cc8e7430801fa23 ("loop: scale loop device by introducing per device lock")
---
Changes in v2:
Minimize lock duration in __loop_clr_fd().
Add kerneldoc to lock/unlock helper functions.
Reformat local variables declaration.
