OK, actually it isn't necessary to register one new lock key for each
hctx(blk_flush_queue) instance, and the current way is really over-kill
because there can be lots of hw queues in one system.

The original lockdep warning can be avoided by setting one nvme_loop
specific lock class simply. If nvme_loop is backed against another nvme_loop,
we still can avoid the warning by killing the direct end io chain, or
assign another lock class.

Will prepare one formal patch tomorrow.

Thanks,
