dm: avoid _hash_lock deadlock

Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events
on a device that is being removed.

_hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the
outstanding events.  Sending the events requests the _hash_lock
again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid.

This patch introduces a separate lock around regions that modify the
link to the hash table (dm_set_mdptr) or the name or uuid so that
dm_copy_name_and_uuid no longer needs _hash_lock.

Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists
so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG()
while md is being freed.

The deadlock:
