[ 3934.179572] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

[ 3934.190151] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 3934.196673] dmsetup/8897 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 3934.201688] ffffffffbce82b18 (shrinker_rwsem){++++}, at: unregister_shrinker+0x22/0x80
[ 3934.210268]
but task is already holding lock:
[ 3934.216489] ffff92a10cc5e1d0 (&pmd->root_lock){++++}, at: dm_pool_metadata_close+0xba/0x120
[ 3934.225083]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
[ 3934.564165] Chain exists of:
shrinker_rwsem --> &journal->j_checkpoint_mutex --> &pmd->root_lock
For a more detailed lockdep report, please see:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200220234519.GA620489@mit.edu
We shouldn't need to hold the lock while are just tearing down and
freeing the whole metadata pool structure.
Fixes: 44d8ebf436 ("dm thin metadata: use pool locking at end of dm_pool_metadata_close")

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.
