[PATCH] dm: add DMF_FREEING
There is a chicken and egg problem between the block layer and dm in which the
gendisk associated with a mapping keeps a reference-less pointer to the
mapped_device.
This patch uses a new flag DMF_FREEING to indicate when the mapped_device is
no longer valid. This is checked to prevent any attempt to open the device
from succeeding while the device is being destroyed.
[akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled]
