[PATCH 4.19 20/24] block: dont hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq

commit c48dac137a62a5d6fa1ef3fa445cbd9c43655a76 upstream.
The original comment says:
q->sysfs_lock must be held to provide mutual exclusion between
elevator_switch() and here.
Which is simply wrong. elevator_init_mq() is only called from
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue, which is always called before the request
queue is registered via blk_register_queue(), for dm-rq or normal rq
based driver. However, queue's kobject is only exposed and added to sysfs
in blk_register_queue(). So there isn't such race between elevator_switch()
and elevator_init_mq().
So avoid to hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq().
