The main bug was that 'blk_cleanup_queue()' was called while the block device could still be in use, for example, because the card was removed while files were still open. In addition, to be sure that 'mmc_request()' will get called for all new requests (so it can error them out), the queue is emptied during cleanup. This is done after the worker thread is stopped to avoid racing with it. Finally, it is not a device error for this to be happening, so quiet the (sometimes very many) error messages.
