Now we have guaranteed that no any requests originated from one hctx exists
when this hctx is going to offline, which is strong enough for killing the check.
The reason why such warning is triggered is that wq's cpu hot unplug is
handled before blk-mq's handling.
I'd suggest to kill the whole branch in the fast path.
