Even though .mq_kobj, ctx->kobj and q->kobj share same lifetime from block layer's view, actually they don't because userspace may grab one kobject anytime via sysfs.
This patch fixes the issue by the following approach:
- introduce 'struct blk_mq_ctxs' for holding .mq_kobj and managing
all ctxs
- free all allocated ctxs and the 'blk_mq_ctxs' instance in release
handler of .mq_kobj
- grab one ref of .mq_kobj before initializing each ctx->kobj, so that
.mq_kobj is always released after all ctxs are freed.
This patch fixes kernel panic issue during booting when DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is enabled.

V3:
- keep to allocate q->queue_ctx via percpu allocator, so one extra pointer reference can be saved for getting ctx
V2:
- allocate 'blk_mq_ctx' inside blk_mq_init_allocated_queue()
- allocate q->mq_kobj directly
Not tested, but seems sane from a kobject point-of-view:

with v4.14.y and v4.19.y.
The patch is marked for v4.21. I would kindly suggest to not wait for v4.21 but apply it to v4.20. This would let us enable DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE with syzbot on upstream and stable kernels.
Greg, applying the patch to v4.14.y will require a backport due to a minor context conflict. I'll send that to you after the patch is available in mainline.
Thanks, Guenter
