The request queue uses ->sysfs_dir_lock for protecting the addition/ deletion of kobject entries under sysfs while we register/unregister blk-mq. However kobject addition/deletion is already protected with kernfs/sysfs internal synchronization primitives. So use of q->sysfs_ dir_lock seems redundant. Moreover, q->sysfs_dir_lock is also used at few other callsites along with q->sysfs_lock for protecting the addition/deletion of kojects. One such example is when we register with sysfs a set of independent access ranges for a disk. Here as well we could get rid off q->sysfs_ dir_lock and only use q->sysfs_lock. The only variable which q->sysfs_dir_lock appears to protect is q-> mq_sysfs_init_done which is set/unset while registering/unregistering blk-mq with sysfs. But use of q->mq_sysfs_init_done could be easily replaced using queue registered bit QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED. So with this patch we remove q->sysfs_dir_lock from each callsite and replace q->mq_sysfs_init_done using QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED.

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 reStructuredText 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.
