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.
