Before commit 780db2071a(blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing
from generic bypassing), the dying flag is checked before
entering queue, and Tejun converts the checking into .mq_freeze_depth,
and assumes the counter is increased just after dying flag
is set. Unfortunately we doesn't do that in blk_set_queue_dying().

This patch calls blk_freeze_queue_start() in blk_set_queue_dying(),
so that we can block new I/O coming once the queue is set as dying.

Given blk_set_queue_dying() is always called in remove path
of block device, and queue will be cleaned up later, we don't
need to worry about undoing the counter.

An explanation of why that crossing can happen is still missing above the
blk_freeze_queue_start() call. Additionally, I'm still wondering whether
or not we need "Cc: stable" tags for the patches in this series. But since
the code looks fine:
