CVE-2022-49406

block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show()

When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal
with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs
lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs
lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the
disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the
device is removed:

[  760.703551]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[  760.703551]
[  760.703554]        CPU0                    CPU1
[  760.703556]        ----                    ----
[  760.703558]   lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
[  760.703565]                                lock(kn->active#385);
[  760.703573]                                lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
[  760.703579]   lock(kn->active#385);
[  760.703587]
[  760.703587]  *** DEADLOCK ***

Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().
