block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks
The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn->count' is held in sysfs .show/.store path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q->sysfs_lock is required. However, when mq & iosched kobjects are removed via blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue(), q->sysfs_lock is held too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of 'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1]. On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q->sysfs_lock for both blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue() because clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler' from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is called in switching elevator path. So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock for covering kobjects and related status change. sysfs itself can ...
