Btrfs: fix race between readahead and device replace/removal



The list of devices is protected by the device_list_mutex and the device
replace code, in its finishing phase correctly takes that mutex before
removing the source device from that list. However the readahead code was
iterating that list without acquiring the respective mutex leading to
crashes later on due to invalid memory accesses:

So fix this by taking the device_list_mutex in the readahead code. We
can't use here the lighter approach of using a rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock() pair together with a list_for_each_entry_rcu() call
because we end up doing calls to sleeping functions (kzalloc()) in the
respective code path.
