scsi: target: Avoid that EXTENDED COPY commands trigger lock inversion
The approach for adding a device to the devices_idr data structure and for
removing it is as follows:
* &dev->dev_group.cg_item is initialized before a device is added to
devices_idr.
* If the reference count of a device drops to zero then
target_free_device() removes the device from devices_idr.
* All devices_idr manipulations are protected by device_mutex.
This means that increasing the reference count of a device is sufficient to
prevent removal from devices_idr and also that it is safe access
dev_group.cg_item for any device that is referenced by devices_idr. Use
this to modify target_find_device() and target_for_each_device() such that
these functions no longer introduce a dependency between device_mutex and
the configfs root inode mutex.
Note: it is safe to pass a NULL pointer to config_item_put() and also to
config_item_get_unless_zero().
This patch prevents that lockdep reports the following complaint:
