block: count BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers
The original changes in v6.8 do allow for a block device to be reopened with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES provided the same holder is used as per bdev_may_open(). I think this has a bug. The first opener @f1 of that block device will set bdev->bd_writers to -1. The second opener @f2 using the same holder will pass the check in bdev_may_open() that bdev->bd_writers must not be greater than zero. The first opener @f1 now closes the block device and in bdev_release() will end up calling bdev_yield_write_access() which calls bdev_writes_blocked() and sets bdev->bd_writers to 0 again. Now @f2 holds a file to that block device which was opened with exclusive write access but bdev->bd_writers has been reset to 0. So now @f3 comes along and succeeds in opening the block device with BLK_OPEN_WRITE betraying @f2's request to have exclusive write access. This isn't a practical issue yet because afaict there's no codepath inside the kernel that reopenes the same block device with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES but it will be if there is. Fix this by counting the number of BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers. So we only allow writes again once all BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers are done.
