Subject: [PATCH] dm mpath: manage reference on request queue of underlying
 devices

When processing a request, DM-mpath's map_io() set the cloned request's
request_queue to the appropriate underlying device's request_queue
without getting a reference on that request_queue.

DM-mpath now maintains a reference count on the underlying devices'
request_queue.  This change wasn't motivated by a specific report but
code, like blk_insert_cloned_request(), will access the request_queue
with the understanding that the request_queue is valid.
