Christoph Hellwig 5cf9c91ba9 block: serialize all debugfs operations using q->debugfs_mutex
Various places like I/O schedulers or the QOS infrastructure try to
register debugfs files on demans, which can race with creating and
removing the main queue debugfs directory.  Use the existing
debugfs_mutex to serialize all debugfs operations that rely on
q->debugfs_dir or the directories hanging off it.

To make the teardown code a little simpler declare all debugfs dentry
pointers and not just the main one uncoditionally in blkdev.h.

Move debugfs_mutex next to the dentries that it protects and document
what it is used for.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
