From: wangjichen <wangjichen@kaihong.com>

md_import_device() runs with mddev->reconfig_mutex held from md_ioctl().
Opening a member disk via bdev_file_open_by_dev() triggers legacy block
autoload (blk_probe_dev), which takes major_names_lock. md_probe() can
run under that lock and call md_alloc(), which takes disks_mutex and
reconfig_mutex — a lockdep ABBA with the ioctl path.

Add bdev_file_open_by_dev_autoload() and use autoload=false from
md_import_device(); member devices must already be present in the
block layer (normal mdadmin usage).
