Subject: [GIT PULL] Single revert/fix for core block bits for 3.19

Hi Linus,

Jan reported a problem this morning with a crash in blk-mq, and after
looking over the recent changes, it's obvious that the blk-mq-tag
waitqueue handling change is buggy. We could end up _not_ doing
finish_wait() before switching to a new waitqueue, thus corrupting the
wait task list.

Please pull this one revert of the problematic change, thanks!
