blk-mq: fix deadlock when reading cpu_list
CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) acquires
all_q_mutex in blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() and then removes sysfs
entries by blk_mq_sysfs_unregister(). Removing sysfs entry needs to
be blocked until the active reference of the kernfs_node to be zero.
On the other hand, reading blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpu sysfs entry (e.g.
/sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu_list) acquires all_q_mutex in
blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show().
If these happen at the same time, a deadlock can happen. Because one
can wait for the active reference to be zero with holding all_q_mutex,
and the other tries to acquire all_q_mutex with holding the active
reference.
The reason that all_q_mutex is acquired in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show()
is to avoid reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask. Since reading sysfs
entry for blk-mq needs to acquire q->sysfs_lock, we can avoid deadlock
and reading an imcomplete hctx->cpumask by protecting q->sysfs_lock
while hctx->cpumask is being updated.
