libceph: must hold mutex for reset_changed_osds()
An osd client has a red-black tree describing its osds, and occasionally we would get crashes due to one of these trees tree becoming corrupt somehow. The problem turned out to be that reset_changed_osds() was being called without protection of the osd client request mutex. That function would call __reset_osd() for any osd that had changed, and __reset_osd() would call __remove_osd() for any osd with no outstanding requests, and finally __remove_osd() would remove the corresponding entry from the red-black tree. Thus, the tree was getting modified without having any lock protection, and was vulnerable to problems due to concurrent updates. This appears to be the only osd tree updating path that has this problem. It can be fairly easily fixed by moving the call up a few lines, to just before the request mutex gets dropped in kick_requests().
