3.11.10.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ef0899410ff630b2e75306da49996dbbfa318165 upstream.
"elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching and md device initialization"
changed the semantics of elevator_init() in a way that now enforces to hold
the corresponding request queue's sysfs_lock when calling elevator_init()
to fix a race.
The patch did not convert the s390 dasd device driver which is the only
device driver which also calls elevator_init(). So add the missing locking.
