block: fix warning when I/O elevator is changed as request_queue is being removed
There is a race between changing I/O elevator and request_queue removal which can trigger the warning in kobject_add_internal. A program can use sysfs to request a change of elevator at the same time another task is unregistering the request_queue the elevator would be attached to. The elevator's kobject will then attempt to be connected to the request_queue in the object tree when the request_queue has just been removed from sysfs. This triggers the warning in kobject_add_internal as the request_queue no longer has a sysfs directory: kobject_add_internal failed for iosched (error: -2 parent: queue) ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 14075 at lib/kobject.c:244 kobject_add_internal+0x103/0x2d0 To fix this warning, we can check the QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED flag when changing the elevator and use the request_queue's sysfs_lock to serialize between clearing the flag and the elevator testing the flag.
