dm ioctl: fix nested locking in table_clear() to remove deadlock concern
commit 3d32aaa7e66d5c1479a3c31d6c2c5d45dd0d3b89 upstream.
syzkaller found the following problematic rwsem locking (with write
lock already held):
down_read+0x9d/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1509
dm_get_inactive_table+0x2b/0xc0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:773
__dev_status+0x4fd/0x7c0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:844
table_clear+0x197/0x280 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:1537
In table_clear, it first acquires a write lock
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520
down_write(&_hash_lock);
Then before the lock is released at L1539, there is a path shown above:
table_clear -> __dev_status -> dm_get_inactive_table -> down_read
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773
down_read(&_hash_lock);
It tries to acquire the same read lock again, resulting in the deadlock
problem.
Fix this by moving table_clear()'s __dev_status() call to after its
up_write(&_hash_lock);
