Subject: blk-mq: avoid setting hctx->tags->cpumask before allocation

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

commit 1356aae08338f1c19ce1c67bf8c543a267688fc3 upstream.

When unmapped hw queue is remapped after CPU topology is changed,
hctx->tags->cpumask has to be set after hctx->tags is setup in
blk_mq_map_swqueue(), otherwise it causes null pointer dereference.
