I am getting errors now and my system will not boot up. The system is
connected to storage with active / passive paths. If we are doing a
BLKPREP_KILL we will call elv_dequeue_request which will add the
timer for the request we are killing. 

The attached patch is a quick patch to work around my issue, but we
probably need something better. I would like to run some short timeout
testing on it for a while (though that previously did not catch Tejun's
issue). I will look at this more tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.
