block: model freeze & enter queue as lock for supporting lockdep

Recently we got several deadlock report[1][2][3] caused by
blk_mq_freeze_queue and blk_enter_queue().

Turns out the two are just like acquiring read/write lock, so model them
as read/write lock for supporting lockdep:

1) model q->q_usage_counter as two locks(io and queue lock)

- queue lock covers sync with blk_enter_queue()

- io lock covers sync with bio_enter_queue()

2) make the lockdep class/key as per-queue:

- different subsystem has very different lock use pattern, shared lock
 class causes false positive easily

- freeze_queue degrades to no lock in case that disk state becomes DEAD
  because bio_enter_queue() won't be blocked any more

- freeze_queue degrades to no lock in case that request queue becomes dying
  because blk_enter_queue() won't be blocked any more

3) model blk_mq_freeze_queue() as acquire_exclusive & try_lock
- it is exclusive lock, so dependency with blk_enter_queue() is covered

- it is trylock because blk_mq_freeze_queue() are allowed to run
  concurrently

4) model blk_enter_queue() & bio_enter_queue() as acquire_read()
- nested blk_enter_queue() are allowed

- dependency with blk_mq_freeze_queue() is covered

- blk_queue_exit() is often called from other contexts(such as irq), and
it can't be annotated as lock_release(), so simply do it in
blk_enter_queue(), this way still covered cases as many as possible

With lockdep support, such kind of reports may be reported asap and
needn't wait until the real deadlock is triggered.

For example, lockdep report can be triggered in the report[3] with this
patch applied.
