register_snapshot() performs a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding _origins_lock for write, but that could write out dirty pages onto a device that attempts to acquire _origins_lock for read, resulting in deadlock. So move the allocation up before taking the lock. This path is not performance-critical, so it doesn't matter that we allocate memory and free it if we find that we won't need it.
