Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Init io_lock after cloning btrfs device struct

commit 1cba0cdf5e4dbcd9e5fa5b54d7a028e55e2ca057 upstream.

__btrfs_close_devices() clones btrfs device structs with
memcpy(). Some of the fields in the clone are reinitialized, but it's
missing to init io_lock. In mainline this goes unnoticed, but on RT it
leaves the plist pointing to the original about to be freed lock
struct.

Initialize io_lock after cloning, so no references to the original
struct are left.
