That removes the earlier kludge to avoid the RCU delay so RCU
latencies are expected to show up right after; however, the following
patches implement proper fix for the problem and the latencies
shouldn't be visible afterwards.

So, 17497acbdce9 ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in
atomic mode") should remove the latencies again.  It doesn't?

Thanks.
