    blk-mq: always free hctx after request queue is freed · 2f8f1336

    In normal queue cleanup path, hctx is released after request queue
    is freed, see blk_mq_release().
    
    However, in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), hctx may be freed because
    of hw queues shrinking. This way is easy to cause use-after-free,
    because: one implicit rule is that it is safe to call almost all block
    layer APIs if the request queue is alive; and one hctx may be retrieved
    by one API, then the hctx can be freed by blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues();
    finally use-after-free is triggered.
    
    Fixes this issue by always freeing hctx after releasing request queue.
    If some hctxs are removed in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), introduce
    a per-queue list to hold them, then try to resuse these hctxs if numa
    node is matched.
