The Notes section of the comment was removed, because now
blk_release_queue can only be executed from blk_cleanup_queue (being
called when the q->kobj reaches zero), and also blk_init_queue was removed
in a1ce35fa4985.

/**
- * __blk_release_queue - release a request queue when it is no longer needed
+ * __blk_release_queue - release a request queue
* @work: pointer to the release_work member of the request queue to be released
*
* Description:
- * blk_release_queue is the counterpart of blk_init_queue(). It should be
- * called when a request queue is being released; typically when a block
- * device is being de-registered. Its primary task it to free the queue
- * itself.
- *
- * Notes:
- * The low level driver must have finished any outstanding requests first
- * via blk_cleanup_queue().
- *
- * Although blk_release_queue() may be called with preemption disabled,
- * __blk_release_queue() may sleep.
+ * This function is called when a block device is being unregistered. The
+ * process of releasing a request queue starts with blk_cleanup_queue, which
+ * set the appropriate flags and then calls blk_put_queue, that decrements
+ * the reference counter of the request queue. Once the reference counter
+ * of the request queue reaches zero, blk_release_queue is called to release
+ * all allocated resources of the request queue.
