The call of __blkdev_reread_part() from loop_reread_partition() happens only when we need to invalidate partitions from loop_release(). Thus move a detection for this into loop_clr_fd() and simplify loop_reread_partition(). This makes loop_reread_partition() safe to use without loop_ctl_mutex because we use only lo->lo_number and lo->lo_file_name in case of error for reporting purposes (thus possibly reporting outdate information is not a big deal) and we are safe from 'lo' going away under us by elevated lo->lo_refcnt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
