Revert "dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps"

This reverts commit f6007dce0c.

Commit f6007dce0c ("dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps") was
added to fix a race between retrieving the list of dm table devices and
multipath_message() modifying the list of table devices. But Commit
a48f6b82c5 ("dm mpath: don't call dm_get_device in multipath_message")
removed the call to dm_get_device() from multipath_message(). After that
commit, the only calls to dm_get_device() and dm_put_device() are in
target constructors and destructors, so the race with retrieve_deps() is
no longer possible.
