Actually sbq->ws[i].wait is taken from a softirq context only in case
of single-queue, see __blk_mq_complete_request(). For multiple queue,
sbq->ws[i].wait is taken from hardirq context.

I guess the above 'dispatch_lock' is actually 'dispatch_wait_lock', which
is always acquired after sbq->ws[i].wait is held, so I think the above
description about CPU1/CPU2 may not be possible or correct.
Thinking about the original lockdep log further, looks it is one real deadlock:
[ 106.132865] Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[ 106.132865]
[ 106.133659] CPU0 CPU1
[ 106.134194] ---- ----
[ 106.134733] lock(&(&sb->map[i].swap_lock)->rlock);
[ 106.135318] local_irq_disable();
[ 106.136014] lock(&sbq->ws[i].wait);
[ 106.136747] lock(&(&hctx->dispatch_wait_lock)->rlock);
[ 106.137742] <Interrupt>
[ 106.138110] lock(&sbq->ws[i].wait);
Given 'swap_lock' can be acquired from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() via
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() directly, the above deadlock may be possible.
Sounds the correct fix may be the following one, and the irqsave cost
should be fine given sbitmap_deferred_clear is only triggered when one
word is run out of.
