Since it seems like Dave is taking his sweet time with doing the revert
I stared at the code a bit more and I think that I finally found the bug
(thanks to your debugging work for giving me the right hint!).
The patch needs to take into the account a new code introduced by the recent
block layer changes (commit 8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879):

out:
and not zero hwif->rq if the device is blocked.
Could you try the attached patch and see if it fixes the issue?
[ Dave: while I appreciate fast handling of my patches I had strongly
suggested giving this particular one some extra testing (because there
were a lot of changes in between the time that it has been tested
against other kernel subsystems). Yet, it seems that its linux-next
exposure was minimal at best.. :( ]
