Various places like I/O schedulers or the QOS infrastructure try to register debugfs files on demans, which can race with creating and removing the main queue debugfs directory. Use the existing debugfs_mutex to serialize all debugfs operations that rely on q->debugfs_dir or the directories hanging off it. To make the teardown code a little simpler declare all debugfs dentry pointers and not just the main one uncoditionally in blkdev.h. Move debugfs_mutex next to the dentries that it protects and document what it is used for.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
