This patch fixes a race between mount and umount in set_blocksize. The results
can vary between buffer errors and infinite loops in __getblk_slow, and
possibly others.

The patch makes set_blocksize run under the bdev_lock if it is the sole holder
of the block device.

Changes:
    - Added missing sync_blockdev in kill_block_super, lost in the shuffle.
