block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks

The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn->count' is held in sysfs .show/.store
path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q->sysfs_lock is
required.

However, when mq & iosched kobjects are removed via
blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue(), q->sysfs_lock is held
too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of
'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1].

On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q->sysfs_lock for
both blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue() because
clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler'
from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no
necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is
called in switching elevator path.

So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for
covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock
for covering kobjects and related status change.

sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and
showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler
via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then
we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.
