Subject: [24/73] md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exit

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de>

commit da9cf5050a2e3dbc3cf26a8d908482eb4485ed49 upstream.

blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
so make sure that it does.
To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.

As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions.  We don't
need the locking, just the warning removal.

This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is
which is 2.6.37 and later.
