This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is
released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix.
The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).
To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.
The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm
kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before
deallocating the mapped_device structure.
The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped
via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which
is embedded in the mapped_device structure).
This is the sequence of operations:
* when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit
* wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the
release method is called
* the release method signals the completion and should return without
delay
* the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues
* the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had
* the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that
contains the kobject
Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread:

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

dm: sysfs add empty release function to avoid debug warning
This patch just removes an unnecessary warning:
kobject: 'dm': does not have a release() function,
it is broken and must be fixed.
The kobject is embedded in mapped device struct, so
code does not need to release memory explicitly here.

This patch renames dm_suspended() to dm_suspended_md() and
keeps it internal to dm.
No functional change.

Add a file named 'suspended' to each device-mapper device directory in
sysfs. It holds the value 1 while the device is suspended. Otherwise
it holds 0.

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.
This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)
The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.
During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.
Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.
