Close race in md_probe

There is a possible race in md_probe.  If two threads call md_probe
for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that
->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add,
thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when
we try to add children to it.

So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to
avoid this possibility.
