I think it doesn't work because elevator_exit() and
blk_throtl_exit() take &q->queue_lock, which may be freed
by LLD after blk_cleanup_queue, before blk_release_queue.

Vivek's comment here describes it in detail:

# SCSI doesn't hit this problem because it uses
# queue_lock embedded in struct request_queue.
