block: introduce a dedicated lock for protecting queue elevator updates

A queue's elevator can be updated either when modifying nr_hw_queues
or through the sysfs scheduler attribute. Currently, elevator switching/
updating is protected using q->sysfs_lock, but this has led to lockdep
splats[1] due to inconsistent lock ordering between q->sysfs_lock and
the freeze-lock in multiple block layer call sites.

As the scope of q->sysfs_lock is not well-defined, its (mis)use has
resulted in numerous lockdep warnings. To address this, introduce a new
q->elevator_lock, dedicated specifically for protecting elevator
switches/updates. And we'd now use this new q->elevator_lock instead of
q->sysfs_lock for protecting elevator switches/updates.

While at it, make elv_iosched_load_module() a static function, as it is
only called from elv_iosched_store(). Also, remove redundant parameters
from elv_iosched_load_module() function signature.
