    The original comment says:
    
    	q->sysfs_lock must be held to provide mutual exclusion between
    	elevator_switch() and here.
    
    Which is simply wrong. elevator_init_mq() is only called from
    blk_mq_init_allocated_queue, which is always called before the request
    queue is registered via blk_register_queue(), for dm-rq or normal rq
    based driver. However, queue's kobject is only exposed and added to sysfs
    in blk_register_queue(). So there isn't such race between elevator_switch()
    and elevator_init_mq().
    
    So avoid to hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq().
