+ * Allow driver to set its own lock class to fq->mq_flush_lock for

+ *
+ * flush_end_io() may be called recursively from some driver, such as
+ * nvme-loop, so lockdep may complain 'possible recursive locking' because
+ * all 'struct blk_flush_queue' instance share same mq_flush_lock lock class
+ * key. We need to assign different lock class for these driver's
+ * fq->mq_flush_lock for avoiding the lockdep warning.
+ *
+ * Use dynamically allocated lock class key for each 'blk_flush_queue'
+ * instance is over-kill, and more worse it introduces horrible boot delay
+ * issue because synchronize_rcu() is implied in lockdep_unregister_key which
+ * is called for each hctx release. SCSI probing may synchronously create and
+ * destroy lots of MQ request_queues for non-existent devices, and some robot
+ * test kernel always enable lockdep option. It is observed that more than half
+ * an hour is taken during SCSI MQ probe with per-fq lock class.
