Subject: [PATCH] block/genhd: use atomic_t for disk_event->block

__disk_unblock_events() will call queue_delayed_work() with a '0' argument
under a spin lock. This might cause the queue_work item to be executed
immediately, and run into a deadlock in disk_check_events() waiting for
the lock to be released.

This patch converts the 'blocked' counter into an atomic variable, so we don't
need to hold a spinlock anymore when scheduling the workqueue function.
