dm: hold DM table for duration of ioctl rather than use blkdev_get
Commit 519049afead ("dm: use blkdev_get rather than bdgrab when issuing
pass-through ioctl") inadvertantly introduced a regression relative to
users of device cgroups that issue ioctls (e.g. libvirt). Using
blkdev_get() in DM's passthrough ioctl support implicitly introduced a
cgroup permissions check that would fail unless care were taken to add
all devices in the IO stack to the device cgroup. E.g. rather than just
adding the top-level DM multipath device to the cgroup all the
underlying devices would need to be allowed.
Fix this, to no longer require allowing all underlying devices, by
simply holding the live DM table (which includes the table's original
blkdev_get() reference on the blockdevice that the ioctl will be issued
to) for the duration of the ioctl.
Also, bump the DM ioctl version so a user can know that their device
cgroup allow workaround is no longer needed.
