This change fixes an issue when removing a device and writing all super blocks run simultaneously. Here's the steps necessary for the issue to happen: 1) disk-io.c:write_all_supers() gets a number of N devices from the super_copy, so it will not panic if it fails to write super blocks for N - 1 devices; 2) Then it tries to acquire the device_list_mutex, but blocks because volumes.c:btrfs_rm_device() got it first; 3) btrfs_rm_device() removes the device from the list, then unlocks the mutex and after the unlock it updates the number of devices in super_copy to N - 1. 4) write_all_supers() finally acquires the mutex, iterates over all the devices in the list and gets N - 1 errors, that is, it failed to write super blocks to all the devices; 5) Because write_all_supers() thinks there are a total of N devices, it considers N - 1 errors to be ok, and therefore won't panic. So this change just makes sure that write_all_supers() reads the number of devices from super_copy after it acquires the device_list_mutex. Conversely, it changes btrfs_rm_device() to update the number of devices in super_copy before it releases the device list mutex. The code path to add a new device (volumes.c:btrfs_init_new_device), already has the right behaviour: it updates the number of devices in super_copy while holding the device_list_mutex. The only code path that doesn't lock the device list mutex before updating the number of devices in the super copy is disk-io.c:next_root_backup(), called by open_ctree() during mount time where concurrency issues can't happen.
