Ensure that the reqest_queue ref counts the request_queue during its full ioctl cycle. This avoids possible races against removal, given blk_get_queue() also checks to ensure the queue is not dying. This small race is possible if you defer removal of the reqest_queue and userspace fires off an ioctl for the device in the meantime.
