Some request.end_io implementations can be called safely without the queue lock held while several other implementations assume that the queue lock is held. So let's play it safe and make sure that the queue lock is held around all end_io invocations. Found this through source code review. Note: blk_finish_request() already invokes request.end_io with the queue lock held.
