block: fix potential deadlock while running nr_hw_queue update

Move scheduler tags (sched_tags) allocation and deallocation outside
both the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock when updating nr_hw_queues.
This change breaks the dependency chain from the percpu allocator lock
to the elevator lock, helping to prevent potential deadlocks, as
observed in the reported lockdep splat[1].

This commit introduces batch allocation and deallocation helpers for
sched_tags, which are now used from within __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
routine while iterating through the tagset.

With this change, all sched_tags memory management is handled entirely
outside the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock context, thereby
eliminating the lock dependency that could otherwise manifest during
nr_hw_queues updates.
