Instead of initializing null_blk hardware queues explicitly after the
request queue has been created, provide .init_hctx() and .exit_hctx()
callback functions. The latter functions are not only called during
request queue allocation but also when the number of hardware queues
changes. Allocate nr_cpu_ids queues during initialization to support
increasing the number of hardware queues above the initial hardware
queue count.
This change fixes increasing the number of hardware queues above the
initial number of hardware queues and also keeps nullb->nr_queues in
sync with the number of hardware queues.

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.
