Calling blkdev_reread_part() under loop_ctl_mutex causes lockdep to complain about circular lock dependency between bdev->bd_mutex and lo->lo_ctl_mutex. The problem is that on loop device open or close lo_open() and lo_release() get called with bdev->bd_mutex held and they need to acquire loop_ctl_mutex. OTOH when loop_reread_partitions() is called with loop_ctl_mutex held, it will call blkdev_reread_part() which acquires bdev->bd_mutex. See syzbot report for details [1]. Move call to blkdev_reread_part() in __loop_clr_fd() from under loop_ctl_mutex to finish fixing of the lockdep warning and the possible deadlock.
