[PATCH] Don't hold BKL across sync_blockdev() in blkdev_put()

Running sync_blockdev() inside lock_kernel causes long scheduling
stalls under some conditions because the lock_kernel() disables
preemption.

We don't need the BKL across sync_blockdev(), so move it down a bit.

This is a minimal fix - we probably don't need BKL for much at all in
there.
