Upon closer inspecting, this is not entirely right.  There is no bug
here, the locking is clearly explained in the comment for
device_mutex.

lists_rwsem's down_write must only be done while within the
device_mutex.

Therefore holding the device_mutex implies there can be no concurrent
writers, and any read lock of lists_rwsem is not necessary.

So this is wrong, it needs to consider the device_mutex too

And this sequence was OK before - the only thing that needs to be
protected by the write lock is the actual list manipulation, not the
search.

The locking here has become a bit nutzo, and the sequencing is wrong
too..

Below is a draft of tidying at least some of this.. Can you work from
here? Will drop this patch.

* Get rid of going_down, we can use list_del and list_splice held
  under the locks to prevent access to the ib_client_data struct
* This allow simplifiying the removal locking to only hold write locks
  while doing the list edit
* Correct call ordering of removal - client remove should be called
  before we break set/get_client_data, otherwise the client has no
  control over when those calls start to fail.
* Client remove must prevent other threads from calling
  set/get_client_data - so safety checks now become WARN_ON
* The kfree doesn't need locking since the list manipulation have no
  dangling pointer anymore.
* Add assert ASSERT_LISTS_READ_LOCKED in all the right places
