[ Upstream commit a2db328 ]

Writing 'power' and 'submit_queues' concurrently will trigger kernel
panic:

Test script:

modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
while true; do echo 1 > submit_queues; echo 4 > submit_queues; done &
while true; do echo 1 > power; echo 0 > power; done

Test result:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000148
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0x41d/0x28f0
Call Trace:

 ksys_write+0x74/0x150

This is because del_gendisk() can concurrent with
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues():

nullb_device_power_store	nullb_apply_submit_queues
 null_del_dev
 del_gendisk
				 nullb_update_nr_hw_queues
				  if (!dev->nullb)
				  // still set while gendisk is deleted
				   return 0
				  blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
 dev->nullb = NULL

Fix this problem by resuing the global mutex to protect
nullb_device_power_store() and nullb_update_nr_hw_queues() from configfs.

Fixes: 45919fb ("null_blk: Enable modifying 'submit_queues' after an instance has been configured")
