blk-mq: fix deadlock when reading cpu_list
CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) acquires all_q_mutex in blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() and then removes sysfs entries by blk_mq_sysfs_unregister(). Removing sysfs entry needs to be blocked until the active reference of the kernfs_node to be zero. On the other hand, reading blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpu sysfs entry (e.g. /sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu_list) acquires all_q_mutex in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show(). If these happen at the same time, a deadlock can happen. Because one can wait for the active reference to be zero with holding all_q_mutex, and the other tries to acquire all_q_mutex with holding the active reference. The reason that all_q_mutex is acquired in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show() is to avoid reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask. Since reading sysfs entry for blk-mq needs to acquire q->sysfs_lock, we can avoid deadlock and reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask by protecting q->sysfs_lock while hctx->cpumask is being updated.
