blk-mq: add new API of blk_mq_hctx_set_fq_lock_class
flush_end_io() may be called recursively from some driver, such as nvme-loop, so lockdep may complain 'possible recursive locking'. Commit b3c6a5997541("block: Fix a lockdep complaint triggered by request queue flushing") tried to address this issue by assigning dynamically allocated per-flush-queue lock class. This solution adds synchronize_rcu() for each hctx's release handler, and causes horrible SCSI MQ probe delay(more than half an hour on megaraid sas). Add new API of blk_mq_hctx_set_fq_lock_class() for these drivers, so we just need to use driver specific lock class for avoiding the lockdep warning of 'possible recursive locking'.
