block_dev: don't take the write lock if block size doesn't change
Taking the write lock has a big performance impact on the whole system
(because of synchronize_sched_expedited). This patch avoids taking the
write lock if the block size doesn't change (i.e. when mounting
filesystem with block size equal to the default block size).
The logic to test if the block device is mapped was moved to a separate
function is_bdev_mapped to avoid code duplication.
