elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching and md device initialization 

The soft lockup below happens at the boot time of the system using dm
multipath and the udev rules to switch scheduler.

[  356.127001] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s! [sh:483]

This is caused by a race between md device initialization by multipathd and
shell script to switch the scheduler using sysfs.

 - multipathd:
   SyS_ioctl -> do_vfs_ioctl -> dm_ctl_ioctl -> ctl_ioctl -> table_load
   -> dm_setup_md_queue -> blk_init_allocated_queue -> elevator_init
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, e); // not yet initialized

 - sh -c 'echo deadline > /sys/$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler':
   elevator_switch (in the call trace above)
    struct elevator_queue *old = q->elevator;
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, new_e);
    elevator_exit(old);                 // lockup! (*)

 - multipathd: (cont.)
    err = e->ops.elevator_init_fn(q);   // init fails; q->elevator is modified

(*) When del_timer_sync() is called, lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely
while timer->base == NULL. In this case, as timer will never initialized,
it results in lockup.

This patch introduces acquisition of q->sysfs_lock around elevator_init()
into blk_init_allocated_queue(), to provide mutual exclusion between
initialization of the q->scheduler and switching of the scheduler.

This should fix this bugzilla:
