dm: initialize non-blk-mq queue data before queue is used
Commit bfebd1c ("dm: add full blk-mq
support to request-based DM") moves the initialization of the fields
backing_dev_info.congested_fn, backing_dev_info.congested_data and
queuedata from the function dm_init_md_queue (that is called when the
device is created) to dm_init_old_md_queue (that is called after the
device type is determined).
There is no locking when accessing these variables, thus it is possible
for other parts of the kernel to briefly see this data in a transient
state (e.g. queue->backing_dev_info.congested_fn initialized and
md->queue->backing_dev_info.congested_data uninitialized, resulting in
passing an incorrect parameter to the function dm_any_congested).
This queue data is left initialized for blk-mq devices even though they
that don't use it.
