blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.
blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration. percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose. This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.
Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1ae
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17. The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a45 ("Revert "blk-mq,
percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
during v3.18 devel cycle.
