dec_pending() is a function which is called during I/O completion
where the caller may be disabling interrupts.
So if you use queue_io() inside dec_pending(), the spin_lock must be
taken/released with irqsave/irqrestore like the patch below.

BTW, lockdep detects the issue and a warning like below is displayed.
It may break the underlying drivers.

Now queue_io() is called from dec_pending(), which may be called with
interrupts disabled.
So queue_io() must not enable interrupts unconditionally and must
save/restore the current interrupts status.
