Before commit 780db2071a(blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing), the dying flag is checked before entering queue, and Tejun converts the checking into .mq_freeze_depth, and assumes the counter is increased just after dying flag is set. Unfortunately we doesn't do that in blk_set_queue_dying(). This patch calls blk_mq_freeze_queue_start() for blk-mq in blk_set_queue_dying(), so that we can block new I/O coming once the queue is set as dying. Given blk_set_queue_dying() is always called in remove path of block device, and queue will be cleaned up later, we don't need to worry about undoing the counter.
