[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] drivers/md: use proper rcu accessor

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com>

rcu_dereference() should be used in sections protected by rcu_read_lock.

For writers, holding some kind of mutex or lock,
rcu_dereference_protected() is the way to go, adding explicit lockdep
bits.

In __unbind(), we are the last user of this mapped device, so can use
the constant '1' instead of a lockdep_is_held(), not consistent with
other uses of rcu_dereference_protected() which use md->suspend_lock
mutex.

v2: changed all buggy rcu_dereference()
    BTW, having a mutex named suspend_lock is ugly, IMO.
