Subject: [PATCH 1/4] blk-mq: update comment for blk_mq_quiesce_queue_nowait()

blk_mq_quiesce_queue_nowait() is now reasonably used by scsi_host_block()
to avoid calling synchronize_rcu() for each LUN. We should not consider to
remove it.

See commit f983622ae60516d634008c7b1ff9ffff4f7bb8ae ("scsi: core: Avoid
calling synchronize_rcu() for each device in scsi_host_block()")
