Subject: [PATCH 3.18 050/150] blk-mq: Fix uninitialized kobject at CPU hotplugging

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 06a41a99d13d8e919e9a00a4849e6b85ae492592 upstream.

When a CPU is hotplugged, the current blk-mq spews a warning like:

  kobject '(null)' (ffffe8ffffc8b5d8): tried to add an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong.

This is indeed because of an uninitialized kobject for blk_mq_ctx.
The blk_mq_ctx kobjects are initialized in blk_mq_sysfs_init(), but it
goes loop over hctx_for_each_ctx(), i.e. it initializes only for
online CPUs.  Thus, when a CPU is hotplugged, the ctx for the newly
onlined CPU is registered without initialization.

This patch fixes the issue by initializing the all ctx kobjects
belonging to each queue.
