blk-mq: fix race between updating nr_hw_queues and switching io sched
In both elevator_switch_mq() and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), sched tags can be allocated, and q->nr_hw_queue is used, and race is inevitable, for example: blk_mq_init_sched() may trigger use-after-free on hctx, which is freed in blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() when nr_hw_queues is decreased. This patch fixes the race be holding q->sysfs_lock.
