Allocate and free sched_tags while queue is freezed can deadlock[1],
this is a long term problem, hence allocate memory before freezing
queue and free memory after queue is unfreezed.

I think we should add a comment above explaining why is it safe
to access q->elevator without holding ->elevator_lock.


I already access q->elevator to check input nr from patch 4, and that's
why I add comments to explain switching elevator is serialized, is this
enough?

Thanks,
