Peter Zijlstra eabe06595d block/mq: Cure cpu hotplug lock inversion

By poking at /debug/sched_features I triggered the following splat:

 [] ======================================================

This is because of the cpu hotplug lock rework. Break the chain at #1
by reversing the lock acquisition order. This way i_mutex_key#4 no
longer depends on cpu_hotplug_lock and things are good.
