Subject: [PATCH] block layer: elv_iosched_show should get elv_list_lock

elv_iosched_show function iterates other elv_list,
hence elv_list_lock should be got.

Also the question is: in elv_iosched_show, elv_iosched_store
q->elevator->elevator_type construction is used without locking q->queue_lock.
Is it expected?..
