[dm-devel] [for-4.16 PATCH v5 2/4] block: properly protect the 'queue' kobj in blk_unregister_queue

The original commit e9a823fb34a8b (block: fix warning when I/O elevator
is changed as request_queue is being removed) is pretty conflated.
"conflated" because the resource being protected by q->sysfs_lock isn't
the queue_flags (it is the 'queue' kobj).

q->sysfs_lock serializes __elevator_change() (via elv_iosched_store)
from racing with blk_unregister_queue():
1) By holding q->sysfs_lock first, __elevator_change() can complete
before a racing blk_unregister_queue().
2) Conversely, __elevator_change() is testing for QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
in case elv_iosched_store() loses the race with blk_unregister_queue(),
it needs a way to know the 'queue' kobj isn't there.

Expand the scope of blk_unregister_queue()'s q->sysfs_lock use so it is
held until after the 'queue' kobj is removed.

Also, blk_unregister_queue() should use q->queue_lock to protect against
any concurrent writes to q->queue_flags -- even though chances are the
queue is being cleaned up so no concurrent writes are likely.
