Currently, hctx attributes (nr_tags, nr_reserved_tags, and cpu_list)
are protected using `q->sysfs_lock`. However, these attributes can be
updated in multiple scenarios:
- During the driver's probe method.
- When updating nr_hw_queues.
- When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests,
which can modify nr_tags.
The nr_requests attribute is already protected using q->elevator_lock,
but none of the update paths actually use q->sysfs_lock to protect hctx
attributes. So to ensure proper synchronization, replace q->sysfs_lock
with q->elevator_lock when reading hctx attributes through sysfs.
Additionally, blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues allocates and updates hctx.
The allocation of hctx is protected using q->elevator_lock, however,
updating hctx params happens without any protection, so safeguard hctx
param update path by also using q->elevator_lock.
