It doesn't matter which lock you use, as long as:
1) You use the same one consistently
2) It has the same scope as the queue lock (the one you call the
scheduler lock)
mq-deadline sets up a per-queue structure, deadline_data, and it has a
lock embedded in that structure. This is what mq-deadline uses to
serialize access to its data structures, as well as those in the queue
(like last_merge).
