block: Fix a race between the cgroup code and request queue initialization
Initialize the request queue lock earlier such that the following race can no longer occur: blk_init_queue_node() blkcg_print_blkgs() blk_alloc_queue_node (1) q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock (2) blkcg_init_queue(q) (3) spin_lock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (4) q->queue_lock = lock (5) spin_unlock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (6) (1) allocate an uninitialized queue; (2) initialize queue_lock to its default internal lock; (3) initialize blkcg part of request queue, which will create blkg and then insert it to blkg_list; (4) traverse blkg_list and find the created blkg, and then take its queue lock, here it is the default *internal lock*; (5) *race window*, now queue_lock is overridden with *driver specified lock*; (6) now unlock *driver specified lock*, not the locked *internal lock*, unlock balance breaks. The changes in this patch are as follows: - Move the .queue_lock initialization from blk_init_queue_node() into blk_alloc_queue_node(). - Only override the .queue_lock pointer for legacy queues because it is not useful for blk-mq queues to override this pointer. - For all all block drivers that initialize .queue_lock explicitly, change the blk_alloc_queue() call in the driver into a blk_alloc_queue_node() call and remove the explicit .queue_lock initialization. Additionally, initialize the spin lock that will be used as queue lock earlier if necessary.
