Check and set sdp->exclude should be atomic when set in sg_open().

The patch is line-wrapped.  More importantly, it doesn't seem to do
It's shorter than the original line, so I just leave it like this...

what your description indicates it should do.  And lastly, does this
fix a bug, possibly even one you have a testcase for, or was it found
by code inspection?
I found it by code inspection. A race condition may happen with the old code if two threads are both trying to open the same sg with O_EXCL simultaneously. It's possible that they both find fsds list is empty and get_exclude(sdp) returns 0, then they both call set_exclude() and break out from wait_event_interruptible and resume open. So it's necessary to check again with sg_open_exclusive_lock held to ensure only one can set sdp->exclude and return >0 to break out from wait_event loop.
