[PATCH 0/2] fixes for the updating nr_hw_queues

Two fixes for updating nr_hw_queues.

The first patch fixes the following scenario:
Kyber depends on the mapping between cpu and nr_hw_queues. When
update nr_hw_queues, elevator_type->ops.mq.init_hctx will be
invoked before the mapping is adapted correctly, this would cause
panic in kyber.

The second patch fixes the following scenario:
part_in_flight/rw will invoke blk_mq_in_flight/rw to account the
inflight requests. It will access the queue_hw_ctx and nr_hw_queues
w/o any protection. When updating nr_hw_queues and blk_mq_in_flight
/rw occur concurrently, panic comes up.

blk-mq: init hctx sched after update cpu & nr_hw_queues
blk-mq: sync the update nr_hw_queues with part_in_flight
