That change looks wrong to me. Additionally, I think that you are looking in
the wrong direction. Since blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() and blk_queue_enter()
work fine for all block drivers except the loop driver I think that you should
have a closer look at how the loop driver uses this block layer functionality.

Thanks,

Bart.
