You are right, but incomplete.  No extra ref is needed for an entity
that represents a bfq_queue.  And this consideration mistook me before
I realized that that commit was needed.  The problem is that an entity
may also represent a group of entities.  In that case no reference is
taken through any bfq_queue.  The commit you want to remove takes this
missing reference.
