block: mark blk_put_queue as potentially blocking
[ Upstream commit 63f93fd6fa5717769a78d6d7bea6f7f9a1ccca8e ]
We can't just say that the last reference release may block, as any
reference dropped could be the last one. So move the might_sleep() from
blk_free_queue to blk_put_queue and update the documentation.
