Subject: Re: [PATCH] blk-mq: put the reference of the io scheduler module after switching back

Sorry for the disturbance.

This patch is just wrong. elevator_switch_mq does not increase the reference
 count of the io scheduler module to which we are switching. Hence, we do not
 need to put the reference back manually.

Sincerely
