The nr_hw_queue update could potentially race with disk addtion/removal while registering/unregistering hctx sysfs files. The __blk_mq_update_ nr_hw_queues() runs with q->tag_list_lock held and so to avoid it racing with disk addition/removal we should acquire q->tag_list_lock while registering/unregistering hctx sysfs files. With this patch, blk_mq_sysfs_register() (called during disk addition) and blk_mq_sysfs_unregister() (called during disk removal) now runs with q->tag_list_lock held so that it avoids racing with __blk_mq_update _nr_hw_queues().
