[patch 039/100] dm snapshot: avoid dropping lock in __find_pending_exception

[Chris Wright]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: c66213921c816f6b1b16a84911618ba9a363b134

It is uncommon and bug-prone to drop a lock in a function that is called with
the lock held, so this is moved to the caller.
