Thanks for the patch.

Entering the queue used to fail if blk_queue_dying() was true. The
condition was changed in commit:

  8e141f9eb803e209714a80aa6ec073893f94c526
  block: drain file system I/O on del_gendisk

I can't actually tell if not checking the DYING flag check was
intentional or not, since the comments in blk_queue_start_drain() say
otherwise.

Christoph, do you know the intention here? Should __bio_queue_enter()
check the queue DYING flag, or do you prefer drivers explicity set the
disk state like this? It looks to me the queue flags should be checked
since that's already tied to the freeze wait_queue_head_t.
