block: protect debugfs attrs using elevator_lock instead of sysfs_lock
Currently, the block debugfs attributes (tags, tags_bitmap, sched_tags,
and sched_tags_bitmap) are protected using q->sysfs_lock. However, these
attributes are updated in multiple scenarios:
- During driver probe method
- During an elevator switch/update
- During an nr_hw_queues update
- When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests
All these update paths (except driver probe method, which doesn't
require any protection) are already protected using q->elevator_lock. To
ensure consistency and proper synchronization, replace q->sysfs_lock
with q->elevator_lock for protecting these debugfs attributes.
