rbd: fix rbd_dev_parent_get() when parent_overlap == 0
The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said * We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to * coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in * rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened. We * drop it again if there is no overlap. but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from the implementation. This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each img_request and virtually never decremented. Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics. Get rid of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.
