[ Upstream commit d483001206 ]
As described in commit 8111964f1b ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between
shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata"), ABBA deadlocks will be
triggered because shrinker_rwsem currently needs to held by
dm_pool_abort_metadata() as a side-effect of thin-pool metadata
operation failure.
The following three problem scenarios have been noticed:
1) Described by commit 8111964f1b ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between
shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata")
2) shrinker_rwsem and throttle->lock

Fix these by resetting dm_bufio_client without holding shrinker_rwsem.
