Move scheduler tags (sched_tags) allocation and deallocation outside both the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock when updating nr_hw_queues. This change breaks the dependency chain from the percpu allocator lock to the elevator lock, helping to prevent potential deadlocks, as observed in the reported lockdep splat[1]. This commit introduces batch allocation and deallocation helpers for sched_tags, which are now used from within __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues routine while iterating through the tagset. With this change, all sched_tags memory management is handled entirely outside the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock context, thereby eliminating the lock dependency that could otherwise manifest during nr_hw_queues updates.
