cecf5d87ff20 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to release & actuire sysfs_lock again during switching elevator. So it isn't enough to prevent switching elevator from happening by simply clearing QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with holding sysfs_lock, because in-progress switch still can move on after re-acquiring the lock, meantime the flag of QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED won't get checked.
Fixes this issue by checking 'q->elevator' directly & locklessly after q->kobj is removed in blk_unregister_queue(), this way is safe because q->elevator can't be changed at that time.
