I understand this know, kernfs_fop_write_iter() will grab
kernfs_node->active, and kobject_del() will wait for active to be
dropped in kernfs_drain().

Sorry that I actually tested with patch 4 applied, and this is a bug
introduced by patch 4, my apologies. It set rqos to ERR_PTR() in
rq_qos_exit, and follow up rq_qos_issue() just check if rqos is NULL.

I'll wait for your patchset to be apllied, and then send a new version.
Just one thing to confirm, do you think it's better to use a global
mutex rather than a disk level mutex? I'm not sure because this will
cause different cgroup configurations from different disk can't
concurrent.

Thanks,
Kuai
