[RFC PATCH v1 02/17] dm thin: avoid bio_set_dev under pool lock

From: Yu Kuai <[email protected]>

bio_set_dev() is about to become explicitly sleepable because it can
associate the bio with a blkg for the destination queue.  pool_map()
calls bio_set_dev() while holding pool->lock with interrupts disabled,
which would be invalid once bio_set_dev() may sleep.

The lock is not needed in this map path.  The pool target is a singleton
mapping and pool_map() only reads pt->data_dev, which is a target-private
device reference acquired during construction and released during target
destruction.  It does not inspect or modify pool state protected by
pool->lock.

Remove the lock so the remap stays in the normal sleepable DM map context
while the data device pointer remains stable for the table lifetime.
