For blk-mq, queue release handler is usually called into after blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() returns. However, q_usage_counter->release() handler may not be started yet at that time, so cause user-after-free. Fix the issue by moving percpu_ref_exit() into blk_free_queue_rcu() since ->release() is called with rcu read lock held, since it is concluded that the race should be covered in caller per discussion from the two links.
