rbd: avoid a deadlock on header_rwsem when flushing notifies
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.
