drbd: close race when detaching from disk

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000058
IP: bd_release+0x21/0x70
Process drbd_w_t7146
Call Trace:
 close_bdev_exclusive
 drbd_free_ldev		[drbd]
 drbd_ldev_destroy	[drbd]
 w_after_state_ch	[drbd]

Race probably went like this:
  state.disk = D_FAILED

... first one to hit zero during D_FAILED:
   put_ldev() /* ----------------> 0 */
     i = atomic_dec_return()
     if (i == 0)
       if (state.disk == D_FAILED)
         schedule_work(go_diskless)
                                /* 1 <------ */ get_ldev_if_state()
   go_diskless()
      do_some_pre_cleanup()                     corresponding put_ldev():
      force_state(D_DISKLESS)   /* 0 <------ */ i = atomic_dec_return()
                                                if (i == 0)
        atomic_inc() /* ---------> 1 */
        state.disk = D_DISKLESS
        schedule_work(after_state_ch)           /* execution pre-empted by IRQ ? */

   after_state_ch()
     put_ldev()
       i = atomic_dec_return()  /* 0 */
       if (i == 0)
         if (state.disk == D_DISKLESS)            if (state.disk == D_DISKLESS)
           drbd_ldev_destroy()                      drbd_ldev_destroy();

Trying to fix this by checking the disk state *before* the
atomic_dec_return(), which implies memory barriers, and by inserting
extra memory barriers around the state assignment in __drbd_set_state().
