Subject: [PATCH 77/91] block: add proper state guards to __elv_next_request

2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

commit 0a58e077eb600d1efd7e54ad9926a75a39d7f8ae upstream.

blk_cleanup_queue() calls elevator_exit() and after this, we can't
touch the elevator without oopsing.  __elv_next_request() must check
for this state because in the refcounted queue model, we can still
call it after blk_cleanup_queue() has been called.

This was reported as causing an oops attributable to scsi.

[WT: in 2.6.27, __elv_next_request() is in elevator.c]
