blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues will freeze the queue itself. Please refer to.
static void __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(struct blk_mq_tag_set *set,
							int nr_hw_queues)
{
	struct request_queue *q;

	lockdep_assert_held(&set->tag_list_lock);

	if (nr_hw_queues > nr_cpu_ids)
		nr_hw_queues = nr_cpu_ids;
	if (nr_hw_queues < 1 || nr_hw_queues == set->nr_hw_queues)
		return;

	list_for_each_entry(q, &set->tag_list, tag_set_list)
		blk_mq_freeze_queue(q);

	set->nr_hw_queues = nr_hw_queues;
	blk_mq_update_queue_map(set);
	list_for_each_entry(q, &set->tag_list, tag_set_list) {
		blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs(set, q);
		blk_mq_queue_reinit(q);
	}

	list_for_each_entry(q, &set->tag_list, tag_set_list)
		blk_mq_unfreeze_queue(q);
}
