Subject: [PATCH 5.12 221/700] block: fix race between adding/removing rq qos and normal IO

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

[ Upstream commit 2cafe29a8d03f02a3d16193bdaae2f3e82a423f9 ]

Yi reported several kernel panics on:

[16687.001777] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
...
[16687.163549] pc : __rq_qos_track+0x38/0x60

or

[  997.690455] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020
...
[  997.850347] pc : __rq_qos_done+0x2c/0x50

Turns out it is caused by race between adding rq qos(wbt) and normal IO
because rq_qos_add can be run when IO is being submitted, fix this issue
by freezing queue before adding/deleting rq qos to queue.

rq_qos_exit() needn't to freeze queue because it is called after queue
has been frozen.

iolatency calls rq_qos_add() during allocating queue, so freezing won't
add delay because queue usage refcount works at atomic mode at that
time.

iocost calls rq_qos_add() when writing cgroup attribute file, that is
fine to freeze queue at that time since we usually freeze queue when
storing to queue sysfs attribute, meantime iocost only exists on the
root cgroup.

wbt_init calls it in blk_register_queue() and queue sysfs attribute
store(queue_wb_lat_store() when write it 1st time in case of !BLK_WBT_MQ),
the following patch will speedup the queue freezing in wbt_init.
