Note that your use of _safe() here actually makes the usage in
iterate_bdevs() unsafe!
Because that function relies on __iget() pinning the current position,
which means that once you re-acquire the list lock, pos->next is valid.
Howveer, _safe() takes pos->next before dropping the lock, and that
object is not actually pinned and can go away.
