virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlock
Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does
not provide one in blk_init_queue().
The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will
switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path.
if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock)
q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock;
However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver
provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the
block provided spinlock.
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at:
[<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by fio/3587:
#0: (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at:
[<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250
Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI.
Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and
does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real
difference is observed before and after this patch.
Changes in v2: Improve commit log as Michael suggested.
