dm: fix race between dm_get_from_kobject() and __dm_destroy()

commit b9a41d21dceadf8104812626ef85dc56ee8a60ed upstream.

The following BUG_ON was hit when testing repeat creation and removal of
DM devices:

The bug can be easily triggered, if an extra delay (e.g. 10ms) is added
between the test of DMF_FREEING & DMF_DELETING and dm_get() in
dm_get_from_kobject().

To fix it, we need to ensure the test of DMF_FREEING & DMF_DELETING and
dm_get() are done in an atomic way, so _minor_lock is used.

The other callers of dm_get() have also been checked to be OK: some
callers invoke dm_get() under _minor_lock, some callers invoke it under
_hash_lock, and dm_start_request() invoke it after increasing
md->open_count.
