Since 749fefe677 in v3.7 ("block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue()"), the following warning appears when multipath is used with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. This patch moves blk_queue_bypass_start() before radix_tree_preload() to avoid the sleeping call while preemption is disabled.
