Subject: [PATCH block#for-2.6.31] block: fix a possible oops on elv_abort_queue()

Hi Jens,

I found one more mis-conversion to the 'request is always dequeued
when completing' model in elv_abort_queue() during code inspection.
Although I haven't hit any problem caused by this mis-conversion yet
and just done compile/boot test, please apply if you have no problem.


Request must be dequeued when it completes.
However, elv_abort_queue() completes requests without dequeueing.
This will cause oops in the __blk_end_request_all().
This patch fixes the oops.
