Fix problem by moving rq_qos_exit() to disk_release(). ioc_qos_write() get
bd_device.kobj in blkcg_conf_open_bdev(), so disk_release will not be
actived until iocost initialization is complited.

I think it'd be better to make del_gendisk wait for these in-flight
operations because this might fix the above particular issue but now all the
policies are exposed to request_queue in a state it never expected before.

del_gendisk() is quiescing the queue around rq_qos_exit(), so maybe we can
piggyback on that and update blkcg_conf_open_bdev() to provide such
exclusion?

Let del_gendisk waiting for that sounds good, but I'm litter confused
how to do that. Following are what I think about:

1) By mentioning that "del_gendisk() is quiescing the queue", do you
suggest to add rcu_read_lock()? This seems wrong because blk_iocost_init
requires memory allocation.

2) Hold gendisk open mutex

3) Use q_usage_counter, and in the meantime, rq_qos_add() and
blkcg_activate_policy() will need refactoring to factor out freeze
queue.

4) Define a new metux

Thanks.
