Subject: [34-longterm 007/179] block: add proper state guards to __elv_next_request

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@...e.de>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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.
