There is a race beteewn blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and cleanup queue,

                                    free(q->elevator)
      e && e->type->ops.has_work //use-after-free

Fix this bug by adding quiesce before freeing queue. Then, anyone
who tries to run hw queue will be safe.
It is blk_mq_run_hw_queue() caller's responsibility to make sure that
the request queue won't disappear, so please fix the caller if there is
such issue.

This is basically revert of 662156641bc4 ("block: don't drain

No, please don't do that. We had several slow boot reports before caused by
by synchronize_rcu() in blk_cleanup_queue(), since blk_cleanup_queue()
is called for in-existed queues, which number can be quite big.

Thanks,
