Details are in the commit messages.

The issue addressed in patch 1/3 is pretty easy to reproduce, 2+3/3 not so
much, and I had to add mdelays in the iters functions to recreate in
sane timeframes.

A regards patch 1/3, if 2+3/3 are adopted, then this can simplified to
simply clear the tagset requests pointers without using any atomic
operations. However, this patch on its own seems to solve the problem [3],
above. So the other 2x patches are really for extreme scenarios which may
never be seen in practice. As such, it could be considered to just accept
patch 1/3 now.

Differences to v2:
- Add patch 2+3/3
- Drop patch to lockout blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() when exiting elevator

John Garry (3):
  blk-mq: Clean up references to old requests when freeing rqs
  blk-mq: Freeze and quiesce all queues for tagset in elevator_exit()
  blk-mq: Lockout tagset iterator when exiting elevator
