From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> [ 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.
