The blk_mq_ctx kobjects are initialized in blk_mq_sysfs_init(), but it goes loop over hctx_for_each_ctx(), i.e. it initializes only for online CPUs. Thus, when a CPU is hotplugged, the ctx for the newly onlined CPU is registered without initialization. This patch fixes the issue by initializing the all ctx kobjects belonging to each queue.
