We were only creating the request_queue debugfs_dir only for make_request block drivers (multiqueue), but never for request-based block drivers. We did this as we were only creating non-blktrace additional debugfs files on that directory for make_request drivers. However, since blktrace *always* creates that directory anyway, we special-case the use of that directory on blktrace. Other than this being an eye-sore, this exposes request-based block drivers to the same debugfs fragile race that used to exist with make_request block drivers where if we start adding files onto that directory we can later run a race with a double removal of dentries on the directory if we don't deal with this carefully on blktrace. Instead, just simplify things by always creating the request_queue debugfs_dir on request_queue registration. Rename the mutex also to reflect the fact that this is used outside of the blktrace context.

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.
