Does the diff below look like something that you are thinking about?

__blk_mark_disk_dead() cannot be moved alone, we need
blk_report_disk_dead() before it.  And all of these should be
done before the first time we take ->open_mutex.

I keep __blk_mark_disk_dead() the way it is and just forcibly
set QUEUE_FLAG_DYING right before __blk_mark_disk_dead(), so
that hopefully bio_queue_enter() can detect DYING.
