[PATCH] mmotm: fix hang at startup

[Hugh Dickins]

Yesterday's mmotm hangs at startup, and with lockdep it reports:
BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#1, blkid/284 - with bdi_lock_two()
called from bdev_inode_switch_bdi() in the backtrace.  It appears
that this function is sometimes called with new the same as old.
