Rename ubd_finish() to __ubd_finsh() and remove ubd_io_lock from it. Add wrapper, ubd_finish(), which grabs lock before calling __ubd_finish(). Update do_ubd_request to use the lock free __ubd_finish() to avoid deadlock. Also, apparently prepare_request is called with ubd_io_lock held, so remove locks there.
