blkfront: Lock blkfront_info when closing
The bdev .open/.release fops race against backend switches to Closing, handled by the XenBus thread. The original code attempted to serialize block device holders and xenbus only via bd_mutex. This is insufficient, the info->bd pointer may already be stale (or null) while xenbus tries to bump up the refcount. Protect blkfront_info with a dedicated mutex.
