From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>
In the case user trigger tags grow by queue sysfs attribute nr_requests,
hctx->sched_tags will be freed directly and replaced with a new
allocated tags, see blk_mq_tag_update_depth().
The problem is that hctx->sched_tags is from elevator->et->tags, while
et->tags is still the freed tags, hence later elevator exit will try to
free the tags again, causing kernel panic.
Fix this problem by replacing et->tags with new allocated tags as well.
Noted there are still some long term problems that will require some
refactor to be fixed thoroughly[1].
