rbd_unregister_watch() flushes notifies and therefore cannot be called
under header_rwsem because a header update notify takes header_rwsem to
synchronize with "rbd map". If mapping an image fails after the watch
is established and a header update notify sneaks in, we deadlock when
erroring out from rbd_dev_image_probe().
Move watch registration and unregistration out of the critical section.
The only reason they were put there was to make header_rwsem management
slightly more obvious.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
