The kobject embedded into the request_queue is used for the queue
directory in sysfs, but that is a child of the gendisks directory and is
intimately tied to it. Move this kobject to the gendisk and use a
refcount_t in the request_queue for the actual request_queue refcounting
that is completely unrelated to the device model.

When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal
with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs
lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs
lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the
disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the
device is removed:
[ 760.703551] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[ 760.703551]
[ 760.703554] CPU0 CPU1
[ 760.703556] ---- ----
[ 760.703558] lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
[ 760.703565] lock(kn->active#385);
[ 760.703573] lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
[ 760.703579] lock(kn->active#385);
[ 760.703587]
[ 760.703587] *** DEADLOCK ***
Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by adding kobject_put().
Callback function blk_ia_ranges_sysfs_release() in kobject_put()
can handle the pointer "iars" properly.

The Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (for SCSI) and data log page
(for ATA) contain parameters describing the set of contiguous LBAs that
can be served independently by a single LUN multi-actuator hard-disk.
Similarly, a logically defined block device composed of multiple disks
can in some cases execute requests directed at different sector ranges
in parallel. A dm-linear device aggregating 2 block devices together is
an example.
This patch implements support for exposing a block device independent
access ranges to the user through sysfs to allow optimizing device
accesses to increase performance.
To describe the set of independent sector ranges of a device (actuators
of a multi-actuator HDDs or table entries of a dm-linear device),
The type struct blk_independent_access_ranges is introduced. This
structure describes the sector ranges using an array of
struct blk_independent_access_range structures. This range structure
defines the start sector and number of sectors of the access range.
The ranges in the array cannot overlap and must contain all sectors
within the device capacity.
The function disk_set_independent_access_ranges() allows a device
driver to signal to the block layer that a device has multiple
independent access ranges. In this case, a struct
blk_independent_access_ranges is attached to the device request queue
by the function disk_set_independent_access_ranges(). The function
disk_alloc_independent_access_ranges() is provided for drivers to
allocate this structure.
struct blk_independent_access_ranges contains kobjects (struct kobject)
to expose to the user through sysfs the set of independent access ranges
supported by a device. When the device is initialized, sysfs
registration of the ranges information is done from blk_register_queue()
using the block layer internal function
disk_register_independent_access_ranges(). If a driver calls
disk_set_independent_access_ranges() for a registered queue, e.g. when a
device is revalidated, disk_set_independent_access_ranges() will execute
disk_register_independent_access_ranges() to update the sysfs attribute
files. The sysfs file structure created starts from the
independent_access_ranges sub-directory and contains the start sector
and number of sectors of each range, with the information for each range
grouped in numbered sub-directories.
E.g. for a dual actuator HDD, the user sees:
$ tree /sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
/sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
|-- 0
| |-- nr_sectors
| `-- sector
`-- 1
|-- nr_sectors
`-- sector
For a regular device with a single access range, the
independent_access_ranges sysfs directory does not exist.
Device revalidation may lead to changes to this structure and to the
attribute values. When manipulated, the queue sysfs_lock and
sysfs_dir_lock mutexes are held for atomicity, similarly to how the
blk-mq and elevator sysfs queue sub-directories are protected.
The code related to the management of independent access ranges is
added in the new file block/blk-ia-ranges.c.
