Subject: [PATCH 4.19 21/24] blk-mq: dont hold q->sysfs_lock in blk_mq_map_swqueue

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...hat.com>

commit c6ba933358f0d7a6a042b894dba20cc70396a6d3 upstream.

blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue()
and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(). For the former caller, the kobject
isn't exposed to userspace yet. For the latter caller, hctx sysfs entries
and debugfs are un-registered before updating nr_hw_queues.

On the other hand, commit 2f8f1336a48b ("blk-mq: always free hctx after
request queue is freed") moves freeing hctx into queue's release
handler, so there won't be race with queue release path too.

So don't hold q->sysfs_lock in blk_mq_map_swqueue().
