4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Roman Pen <roman.penyaev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a347c7ad8edf4c5685154f3fdc3c12fc1db800ba upstream. It is not allowed to reinit q->tag_set_list list entry while RCU grace period has not completed yet, otherwise the following soft lockup in blk_mq_sched_restart() happens: [ 1064.252652] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 23s!

There are several MQ queues with shared tags. 2. One queue is about to be freed and now task is in blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set(). 3. Other CPU is in blk_mq_sched_restart() and loops over all queues in tag list in order to find hctx to restart. Because linked list entry was modified in blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() without proper waiting for a grace period, blk_mq_sched_restart() never ends, spining in list_for_each_entry_rcu_rr(), thus soft lockup. Fix is simple: reinit list entry after an RCU grace period elapsed.
