Subject: dm cache metadata: fix cmd_read_lock() acquiring write lock

commit 6545b60baaf880b0cd29a5e89dbe745a06027e89 upstream.

Commit 9567366fefdd ("dm cache metadata: fix READ_LOCK macros and
cleanup WRITE_LOCK macros") uses down_write() instead of down_read() in
cmd_read_lock(), yet up_read() is used to release the lock in
READ_UNLOCK().  Fix it.
