In the whole lifetime of blkcg_gq instance, ->q will be referred, such as, ->pd_free_fn() is called in blkg_free, and throtl_pd_free() still may touch the request queue via &tg->service_queue.pending_timer which is handled by throtl_pending_timer_fn(), so it is reasonable to grab request queue's refcnt by blkcg_gq instance. Previously blkcg_exit_queue() is called from blk_release_queue, and it is hard to avoid the use-after-free. But recently commit 1059699f87eb ("block: move blkcg initialization/destroy into disk allocation/release handler") is merged to for-5.18/block, it becomes simple to fix the issue by simply grabbing request queue's refcnt.
