The legacy CFQ IO scheduler could call put_io_context() in its exit_icq()
elevator callback. This led to a lockdep warning, which was fixed in
commit d8c66c5d ("block: fix lockdep warning on io_context release
put_io_context()") by using a nested subclass for the ioc spinlock.
However, with commit f382fb0b ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers")
the CFQ IO scheduler no longer exists.

The BFQ IO scheduler also implements the exit_icq() elevator callback but
does not call put_io_context().

The nested subclass for the ioc spinlock is no longer needed. Since it
existed as an exception and no longer applies, remove the nested subclass
usage.

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.
