Both now queued up, thanks.
As was just reported, this breaks things all over the place:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/219030d8-3408-cc9d-7aec-1fb14ab891ce@roeck-us.net (local)

Note, I also had to add lots of fix-up patches on top of these two that
you missed, so odds are there are other fix-ups that I also missed.

Please go and test this again, and submit ALL patches that are needed
after they pass the proper testing and I will be glad to reconsider them
again.
Why did this even get backported?  It was a cleanup that required a lot
of prep work, and should not by itself fix anything.
Looks like syzkaller is reporting something odd...

Tadeusz, how was this tested?
Yes, I tested it with syzbot and locally and it fixed the syzbot reported
"kernel BUG at block/blk-mq.c:567" issue:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=a3416231e37024a75f2b95bd95db0d8ce8132a84

I only tested it with booting from ext4 fs, as I don't have any btrfs setup.
