Subject: [PATCH-next] block: fix null-deref in percpu_ref_put

A problem was find in stable 5.10 and the root cause of it like below.

In the use of q_usage_counter of request_queue, blk_cleanup_queue using
"wait_event(q->mq_freeze_wq, percpu_ref_is_zero(&q->q_usage_counter))"
to wait q_usage_counter becoming zero. however, if the q_usage_counter
becoming zero quickly, and percpu_ref_exit will execute and ref->data
will be freed, maybe another process will cause a null-defef problem
like below:

	CPU0                             CPU1
blk_mq_destroy_queue
 blk_freeze_queue
  blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait
				scsi_end_request
				 percpu_ref_get
				 ...
				 percpu_ref_put
				  atomic_long_sub_and_test
 blk_put_queue
  kobject_put
   kref_put
    blk_release_queue
     percpu_ref_exit
      ref->data -> NULL
   				   ref->data->release(ref) -> null-deref

As suggested by Ming Lei, fix it by getting the release method before
the referebce count is minus 0.
