[PATCH RESEND 3/5] blk-iocost: fix incorrect lock order for rq_qos_mutex and freeze queue

From: Yu Kuai

Date: Sat Nov 15 2025 - 23:10:36 EST


Like wbt, rq_qos_add() can be called from two path and the lock order
are inversely:

- From ioc_qos_write(), queue is already freezed before rq_qos_add();
- From ioc_cost_model_write(), rq_qos_add() is called directly;

Fix this problem by converting to use blkg_conf_open_bdev_frozen()
from ioc_cost_model_write(), then since all rq_qos_add() callers
already freeze queue, convert to use rq_qos_add_freezed.
