Hi,

It might be the jetlag but I can't see how you end up calling
blkcg_exit_queue() from __blk_release_queue().

As I see it the only way to reach blkcg_exit_queue() is from
blk_cleanup_queue(), which I don't see anywhere in __blk_release_queue().

I suspect that I'm just fixing a corner case though and
the general case is what you describe or similar.
