Subject: [PATCH -next] [RFC] block: fix null-deref in percpu_ref_put

From: Zhang Wensheng <zhangwensheng5@...wei.com>

A problem was find in stable 5.10 and the root cause of it like below.

In the use of q_usage_counter of request_queue, blk_cleanup_queue using
"wait_event(q->mq_freeze_wq, percpu_ref_is_zero(&q->q_usage_counter))"
to wait q_usage_counter becoming zero. however, if the q_usage_counter
becoming zero quickly, and percpu_ref_exit will execute and ref->data
will be freed, maybe another process will cause a null-defef problem
like below:

	CPU0                             CPU1
blk_cleanup_queue
 blk_freeze_queue
  blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait
				scsi_end_request
				 percpu_ref_get
				 ...
				 percpu_ref_put
				  atomic_long_sub_and_test
  percpu_ref_exit
   ref->data -> NULL
   				   ref->data->release(ref) -> null-deref

Fix it by setting flag(QUEUE_FLAG_USAGE_COUNT_SYNC) to add synchronization
mechanism, when ref->data->release is called, the flag will be setted,
and the "wait_event" in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait must wait flag becoming
true as well, which will limit percpu_ref_exit to execute ahead of time.

Although the problem was not reproduced in mainline, it may also has
problem when the passthrough IO which will go directly to
blk_cleanup_queue and cause the problem as well.
