Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 2/3] blk-mq: Freeze and quiesce all queues for tagset in elevator_exit()

A use-after-free may occur if blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() is run on a
queue when another queue associated with the same tagset is switching IO
scheduler:

Indeed, blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() already does take a reference to its
queue usage counter when called, and the queue cannot be frozen to switch
IO scheduler until all refs are dropped. This ensures no stale references
to IO scheduler requests will be seen by blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter().

However, there is nothing to stop blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() being
run for another queue associated with the same tagset, and it seeing
a stale IO scheduler request from the other queue after they are freed.

To stop this happening, freeze and quiesce all queues associated with the
tagset as the elevator is exited.

I think that this patch is what Bart suggested:
