null_blk: fix null-ptr-dereference while configuring 'power' and 'submit_queues'
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:

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")
