Recent rework moved block device closing out of sb->put_super() and into
sb->kill_sb() to avoid deadlocks as s_umount is held in put_super() and
blkdev_put() can end up taking s_umount again.
That means we need to move the removal of the superblock from @fs_supers
out of generic_shutdown_super() and into deactivate_locked_super() to
ensure that concurrent mounters don't fail to open block devices that
are still in use because blkdev_put() in sb->kill_sb() hasn't been
called yet.
We can now do this as we can make iterators through @fs_super and
@super_blocks wait without holding s_umount. Concurrent mounts will wait
until a dying superblock is fully dead so until sb->kill_sb() has been
called and SB_DEAD been set. Concurrent iterators can already discard
any SB_DYING superblock.
