>From blk-mq.c:

/* tags can _not_ be used after returning from blk_mq_exit_queue */
void blk_mq_exit_queue(struct request_queue *q)
{
	struct blk_mq_tag_set	*set = q->tag_set;

	blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set(q);
	blk_mq_exit_hw_queues(q, set, set->nr_hw_queues);
}

I think that calling blk_mq_exit_queue() from blk_unregister_queue()
would break at least the sd driver. The sd driver can issue I/O after
having called del_gendisk(). See also the sd_sync_cache() call in
sd_shutdown().
