[PATCH] block: unfreeze queue if realloc tag set fails during nr_hw_queues update

[Nilay Shroff <nilay@linux.ibm.com>]

In __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), the current sequence involves:

1. unregistering sysfs/debugfs attributes
2. freeze the queue
3. reallocating the tag set
4. updating the queue map
5. reallocating hardware contexts
6. updating the elevator (which unfreeze the queue again)
7. re-register sysfs/debugfs attributes

If tag set reallocation fails at step 3, the function skips steps 4–6
and proceeds directly to step 7, re-registering the sysfs/debugfs
attributes without unfreezing the queue first. This is incorrect and
can lead to a system hang or lockdep splat, as the queue remains frozen
and is never properly unfrozen.

This patch addresses the issue by explicitly unfreezing the queue before
re-registering the sysfs/debugfs attributes in the event of a tag set
reallocation failure.
