Hi Linus,

- Fix a long standing bug in CFQ that assumes that read_lock() implies rcu_read_lock() as well. No known cases of this hitting (it would have to be a lucky punch during IO scheduler switch), but a bug none the less.

- Get rid of QUEUE_FLAG_REENTER. I know you love it, but it must go. SCSI unconditionally does async queue runs, in most cases they don't
even need to do that. I'll pass a patch through James to correct that.

- Two buglets in the block sysfs code, missing cleanup on error and code clarification change.

- blk_flush_plug_list() is no longer used externally, it's only called by schedule(). So we can kill the export now.

Please pull!
