super: take lock after last reference count

__put_super() required the caller to hold sb_lock, so put_super()
wrapped it. The per-device superblock table introduced later drops its
passive references from contexts that do not hold sb_lock, so make
put_super() self-locking: drop the count first and take sb_lock only for
the final list_del.

With the count now dropped outside sb_lock a superblock can briefly sit
on @super_blocks with s_passive == 0 before it is unlinked, so the list
walkers (__iterate_supers(), iterate_supers_type(), user_get_super())
switch to refcount_inc_not_zero() and skip it.
