When nr_hw_queues is updated, the elevator needs to be switched to
ensure that we exit elevator and reattach it to ensure that hctx->
sched_tags is correctly allocated for the new hardware queues.
However, elv_update_nr_hw_queues() currently only switches the
elevator if the queue is not registered. This is incorrect, as it
prevents reattaching the elevator after updating nr_hw_queues, which
in turn inhibits allocation of sched_tags.
Fix this by allowing the elevator switch if the queue is registered,
ensuring proper reattachment and resource allocation.

Move elv_register[unregister]_queue out of ->elevator_lock & queue freezing,
so we can kill many lockdep warnings.
elv_register[unregister]_queue() is serialized, and just dealing with sysfs/
debugfs things, no need to be done with queue frozen:
- when it is called from adding disk, elevator switch isn't possible
because ->queue_kobj isn't added yet
- when it is called from deleting disk, disable_elv_switch() is
responsible for preventing new elevator switch and draining old
elevator switch.
- when it is called from blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), adding/removing
disk and elevator switch can't be allowed or in-progress
With this change, elevator's ->exit() is called before calling
elv_unregister_queue, then user may call into ->show()/store() of elevator's
sysfs attributes, and we have covered this issue by adding `ELEVATOR_FLAG_DYNG`.
For blk-mq debugfs, hctx->sched_tags is always checked with ->elevator_lock by
debugfs code, meantime hctx->sched_tags is updated with ->elevator_lock, so
there isn't such issue.

Elevator change is one well-define behavior:
- tear down current elevator if it exists
- setup new elevator
It is supposed to cover any case for changing elevator by single
internal API, typically the following cases:
- setup default elevator in add_disk()
- switch to none in del_disk()
- reset elevator in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues()
- switch elevator in sysfs `store` elevator attribute
This patch uses elevator_change() to cover all above cases:
- every elevator switch is serialized with each other: add_disk/del_disk/
store elevator is serialized already, blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() uses
srcu for syncing with the other three cases
- for both add_disk()/del_disk(), queue freeze works at atomic mode
or has been froze, so the freeze in elevator_change() won't add extra
delay
- `struct elev_change_ctx` instance holds any info for changing elevator

A queue's elevator can be updated either when modifying nr_hw_queues
or through the sysfs scheduler attribute. Currently, elevator switching/
updating is protected using q->sysfs_lock, but this has led to lockdep
splats[1] due to inconsistent lock ordering between q->sysfs_lock and
the freeze-lock in multiple block layer call sites.
As the scope of q->sysfs_lock is not well-defined, its (mis)use has
resulted in numerous lockdep warnings. To address this, introduce a new
q->elevator_lock, dedicated specifically for protecting elevator
switches/updates. And we'd now use this new q->elevator_lock instead of
q->sysfs_lock for protecting elevator switches/updates.
While at it, make elv_iosched_load_module() a static function, as it is
only called from elv_iosched_store(). Also, remove redundant parameters
from elv_iosched_load_module() function signature.

When block drivers or the core block code perform allocations with a
frozen queue, this could try to recurse into the block device to
reclaim memory and deadlock. Thus all allocations done by a process
that froze a queue need to be done without __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS.
Instead of tying to track all of them down, force a noio scope as
part of freezing the queue.

Whenever an I/O elevator is changed, the system attempts to load a
module for the new elevator. This occurs regardless of whether the
elevator is already loaded or built directly into the kernel. This
behavior introduces unnecessary overhead and potential issues.
This makes the operation slower, and more error-prone. For instance,
making the problem fixed by [1] visible for users that doesn't even rely
on modules being available through modules.
Do not try to load the ioscheduler if it is already visible.
This change brings two main benefits: it improves the performance of
elevator changes, and it reduces the likelihood of errors occurring
during this process.

Commit 734e1a8603 ("block: Prevent deadlocks when switching
elevators") introduced the function elv_iosched_load_module() to allow
loading an elevator module outside of elv_iosched_store() with the
target device queue not frozen, to avoid deadlocks. However, the "none"
scheduler does not have a module and as a result,
elv_iosched_load_module() always returns an error when trying to switch
to this valid scheduler.
Fix this by ignoring the return value of the request_module() call
done by elv_iosched_load_module(). This restores the behavior before
commit 734e1a8603, which was to ignore the request_module() result and
instead rely on elevator_change() to handle the "none" scheduler case.

Commit af28141498 ("block: freeze the queue in queue_attr_store")
changed queue_attr_store() to always freeze a sysfs attribute queue
before calling the attribute store() method, to ensure that no IOs are
in-flight when an attribute value is being updated.
However, this change created a potential deadlock situation for the
scheduler queue attribute as changing the queue elevator with
elv_iosched_store() can result in a call to request_module() if the user
requested module is not already registered. If the file of the requested
module is stored on the block device of the frozen queue, a deadlock
will happen as the read operations triggered by request_module() will
wait for the queue freeze to end.
Solve this issue by introducing the load_module method in struct
queue_sysfs_entry, and to calling this method function in
queue_attr_store() before freezing the attribute queue.
The macro definition QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY() is added to define a
queue sysfs attribute that needs loading a module.
The definition of the scheduler atrribute is changed to using
QUEUE_RW_LOAD_MODULE_ENTRY(), with the function
elv_iosched_load_module() defined as the load_module method.
elv_iosched_store() can then be simplified to remove the call to
request_module().

Chuck reported [1] an IO hang problem on NFS exports that reside on SATA
devices and bisected to commit 615939a2ae ("blk-mq: defer to the normal
submission path for post-flush requests").
We analysed the IO hang problem, found there are two postflush requests
waiting for each other.
The first postflush request completed the REQ_FSEQ_DATA sequence, so go to
the REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH sequence and added in the flush pending list, but
failed to blk_kick_flush() because of the second postflush request which
is inflight waiting in scheduler queue.
The second postflush waiting in scheduler queue can't be dispatched because
the first postflush hasn't released scheduler resource even though it has
completed by itself.
Fix it by releasing scheduler resource when the first postflush request
completed, so the second postflush can be dispatched and completed, then
make blk_kick_flush() succeed.
While at it, remove the check for e->ops.finish_request, as all
schedulers set that. Reaffirm this requirement by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE()
at scheduler registration time, just like we do for insert_requests and
dispatch_request.

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.
Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent
modification at runtime.

The kobject embedded into the request_queue is used for the queue
directory in sysfs, but that is a child of the gendisks directory and is
intimately tied to it. Move this kobject to the gendisk and use a
refcount_t in the request_queue for the actual request_queue refcounting
that is completely unrelated to the device model.

Split an elevator_disable helper from elevator_switch for the case where
we want to switch to no scheduler at all. This includes removing the
pointless elevator_switch_mq helper and removing the switch to no
schedule logic from blk_mq_init_sched.

Checking for the required features in the callers simplifies the code
