    rbd: fix rbd_dev_parent_get() when parent_overlap == 0 · 8f86365e

    The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said
    
        * We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to
        * coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in
        * rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened.  We
        * drop it again if there is no overlap.
    
    but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from
    the implementation.  This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images
    with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each
    img_request and virtually never decremented.
    
    Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls
    rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in
    rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics.  Get rid
    of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what
    they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable
    situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.
