dm: fix use after free crash due to incorrect cleanup sequence
Linux 4.2-rc1 Commit 0f20972f7bf6 ("dm: factor out a common cleanup_mapped_device()") moved a common cleanup code to a separate function. Unfortunately, that commit incorrectly changed the order of cleanup, so that it destroys the mapped_device's srcu structure 'io_barrier' before destroying its workqueue. The function that is executed on the workqueue (dm_wq_work) uses the srcu structure, thus it may use it after being freed. That results in a crash in the LVM test suite's mirror-vgreduce-removemissing.sh test.
