syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit 87579e9b ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker")
is calling destroy_workqueue() with disk->open_mutex held.

This circular dependency cannot be broken unless we call __loop_clr_fd()
without holding disk->open_mutex. Therefore, defer __loop_clr_fd() from
lo_release() to a WQ context.
