This patch depends on commit 3ef28e83ab15 "block: generic request_queue reference counting"
upstream which is nominally too big for -stable (7 files changed, 102 insertions(+), 75 deletions(-)).

However, if you're open to taking that larger patch I'll reflow this one. It fixes a class of crash signatures by re-purposing an existing percpu reference count.
