attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and may call into ->elevator_bio_merge_fn(). The elvator is guaranteed to be valid because it's accessed iff the plugged list has requests and elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the elevator method can deal with unlocked access, this is safe. Explain the sync rules around attempt_plug_merge() and drop the unnecessary @tsk parameter. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.
