4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit c28445fa06a3a54e06938559b9514c5a7f01c90f upstream. The nested acquisition of loop_ctl_mutex (->lo_ctl_mutex back then) has been introduced by commit f028f3b2f987e "loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()" to fix lockdep complains about bd_mutex being acquired after lo_ctl_mutex during partition rereading. Now that these are properly fixed, let's stop fooling lockdep.
