Subject: [PATCH] block: fix race between switching elevator and removing
queues
Git-commit: 0a67b5a926e63ff5492c3c675eab5900580d056d
References: bsc#1156419,jsc#SLE-8281
Patch-Mainline: v5.4-rc1
cecf5d87ff20 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to
release & actuire sysfs_lock again during switching elevator. So it
isn't enough to prevent switching elevator from happening by simply
clearing QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with holding sysfs_lock, because
in-progress switch still can move on after re-acquiring the lock,
meantime the flag of QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED won't get checked.
Fixes this issue by checking 'q->elevator' directly & locklessly after
q->kobj is removed in blk_unregister_queue(), this way is safe because
q->elevator can't be changed at that time.
