Actually sbq->ws[i].wait is taken from a softirq context only in case
of single-queue, see __blk_mq_complete_request(). For multiple queue,
sbq->ws[i].wait is taken from hardirq context.

I guess the above 'dispatch_lock' is actually 'dispatch_wait_lock', which
is always acquired after sbq->ws[i].wait is held, so I think the above
description about CPU1/CPU2 may not be possible or correct.

Thinking about the original lockdep log further, looks it is one real deadlock:

    [  106.132865]  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
    [  106.132865]
    [  106.133659]        CPU0                    CPU1
    [  106.134194]        ----                    ----
    [  106.134733]   lock(&(&sb->map[i].swap_lock)->rlock);
    [  106.135318]                                local_irq_disable();
    [  106.136014]                                lock(&sbq->ws[i].wait);
    [  106.136747]                                lock(&(&hctx->dispatch_wait_lock)->rlock);
    [  106.137742]   <Interrupt>
    [  106.138110]     lock(&sbq->ws[i].wait);

Given 'swap_lock' can be acquired from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() via
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() directly, the above deadlock may be possible.

Sounds the correct fix may be the following one, and the irqsave cost
should be fine given sbitmap_deferred_clear is only triggered when one
word is run out of.
