Known issue unfortunately. Something is not properly reference counting
the block queue, but the handling in mmc_block is correct as far as I
can gather.
Your patch works around the problem by basically keeping a reference to
the queue longer than the driver needs (hiding any missing references
in other layers).
I've been trying to find this bug without much success. The block layer
isn't that easy to understand. :/
