Currently rbd_quiesce_lock() holds lock_rwsem for read while blocking
on releasing_wait completion.  On the I/O completion side, each image
request also needs to take lock_rwsem for read.  Because rw_semaphore
implementation doesn't allow new readers after a writer has indicated
interest in the lock, this can result in a deadlock if something that
needs to take lock_rwsem for write gets involved.  For example:

1. watch error occurs
2. rbd_watch_errcb() takes lock_rwsem for write, clears owner_cid and
   releases lock_rwsem
3. after reestablishing the watch, rbd_reregister_watch() takes
   lock_rwsem for write and calls rbd_reacquire_lock()
4. rbd_quiesce_lock() downgrades lock_rwsem to for read and blocks on
   releasing_wait until running_list becomes empty
5. another watch error occurs
6. rbd_watch_errcb() blocks trying to take lock_rwsem for write
7. no in-flight image request can complete and delete itself from
   running_list because lock_rwsem won't be granted anymore

A similar scenario can occur with "lock has been acquired" and "lock
has been released" notification handers which also take lock_rwsem for
write to update owner_cid.

We don't actually get anything useful from sitting on lock_rwsem in
rbd_quiesce_lock() -- owner_cid updates certainly don't need to be
synchronized with.  In fact the whole owner_cid tracking logic could
probably be removed from the kernel client because we don't support
proxied maintenance operations.
