GFS2: don't hold s_umount over blkdev_put
This is a GFS2 version of Tejun's patch: 4f331f01b9c43bf001d3ffee578a97a1e0633eac vfs: don't hold s_umount over close_bdev_exclusive() call In this case its blkdev_put itself that is the issue and this patch uses the same solution of dropping and retaking s_umount.
