4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 4a5ce9ba5877e4640200d84a735361306ad1a1b8 upstream. Push loop_ctl_mutex down to loop_get_status() to avoid the unusual convention that the function gets called with loop_ctl_mutex held and releases it.
