block: Fix a race between request queue removal and the block cgroup controller
Avoid that the following race can occur: blk_cleanup_queue() blkcg_print_blkgs() spin_lock_irq(lock) (1) spin_lock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (2,5) q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock (3) spin_unlock_irq(lock) (4) spin_unlock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (6) (1) take driver lock; (2) busy loop for driver lock; (3) override driver lock with internal lock; (4) unlock driver lock; (5) can take driver lock now; (6) but unlock internal lock. This change is safe because only the SCSI core and the NVME core keep a reference on a request queue after having called blk_cleanup_queue(). Neither driver accesses any of the removed data structures between its blk_cleanup_queue() and blk_put_queue() calls.
