4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e321f8a801d7b4c40da8005257b05b9c2b51b072 ] If @block_group is not @used_bg, it'll try to get @used_bg's lock without droping @block_group 's lock and lockdep has throwed a scary deadlock warning about it. Fix it by using down_read_nested.
