3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2967acbb257a6a9bf912f4778b727e00972eac9b upstream. A previous commit changed the locking around registration/cleanup, but direct callers of blk_trace_remove() were missed. This means that if we hit the error path in setup, we will deadlock on attempting to re-acquire the queue trace mutex.
