Use this bash script, it's easy to trigger the bug
1. Firstly, start fio to make requests on raid device
2. Set one of the raw devices' state into "blocked"
3. Reshape the raid device and "-blocked" the raw device

```
parted -s /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 0G 1G
parted -s /dev/sdc -- mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sdc -- mkpart primary 0G 1G

yes | mdadm --create /dev/md10 --level=mirror \
	--force --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc1
mdadm --wait /dev/md10

nohup fio fio.job &

device_num=2
for ((i = 0; i <= 100000; i = i + 1)); do
	sleep 1
	echo "blocked" >/sys/devices/virtual/block/md10/md/dev-sda1/state
	if [[ $((i % 2)) -eq 0 ]]; then
		device_num=2
	else
		device_num=1800
	fi
	mdadm --grow --force --raid-devices=$device_num /dev/md10
	sleep 1
	echo "-blocked" >/sys/devices/virtual/block/md10/md/dev-sda1/state
done
```

The configuration of fio, file fio.job
```
[global]
ioengine=libaio
bs=4k
numjobs=1
iodepth=128
direct=1
rate=1M,1M

[md10]
time_based
runtime=-1
rw=randwrite
filename=/dev/md10
```

kernel crashed when trying to free r1bio:

[  116.980897] RIP: 0010:default_idle+0xf/0x20

As far I know, when a request is allocated, 
request_queue::q_usage_counter is increased. When the io finished, the 
request_queue::q_usage_counter is decreased, use nvme driver as an
example:

nvme_complete_batch()
	blk_mq_end_request_batch()
		blk_mq_flush_tag_batch()
			percpu_ref_put_many(&q->q_usage_counter, nr_tags);
			

So, when blk_mq_freeze_queue() is returned successfully, every in-flight
io has returned from hardware, also new requests are blocked.

Thanks,
Hu
