4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 34d9715ac1edd50285168dd8d80c972739a4f6a4 ] Once blk_set_queue_dying() is done in blk_cleanup_queue(), we call blk_freeze_queue() and wait for q->q_usage_counter becoming zero. But if there are tasks blocked in get_request(), q->q_usage_counter can never become zero. So we have to wake up all these tasks in blk_set_queue_dying() first.
