Yu Kuai 5d726c4dbe blk-cgroup: fix possible deadlock while configuring policy
Following deadlock can be triggered easily by lockdep:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.17.0-rc3-00124-ga12c2658ced0 #1665 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
check/1334 is trying to acquire lock:
ff1100011d9d0678 (&q->sysfs_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blk_unregister_queue+0x53/0x180

but task is already holding lock:
ff1100011d9d00e0 (&q->q_usage_counter(queue)#3){++++}-{0:0}, at: del_gendisk+0xba/0x110

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &q->sysfs_lock --> &q->rq_qos_mutex --> &q->q_usage_counter(queue)#3

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&q->q_usage_counter(queue)#3);
                               lock(&q->rq_qos_mutex);
                               lock(&q->q_usage_counter(queue)#3);
  lock(&q->sysfs_lock);

Root cause is that queue_usage_counter is grabbed with rq_qos_mutex
held in blkg_conf_prep(), while queue should be freezed before
rq_qos_mutex from other context.

The blk_queue_enter() from blkg_conf_prep() is used to protect against
policy deactivation, which is already protected with blkcg_mutex, hence
convert blk_queue_enter() to blkcg_mutex to fix this problem. Meanwhile,
consider that blkcg_mutex is held after queue is freezed from policy
deactivation, also convert blkg_alloc() to use GFP_NOIO.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
