I think that since the bio_queue_enter() function was called,
q->q_usage_counter will not allow the critical code in the attach/detach
functions to be executed, which is located between the blk_freeze_queue
and blk_unfreeze_queue calls.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes.
I will remove the blk_mq_is_queue_frozen() function and use a different
approach.
