That makes sense to me, especially because drivers/nvdimm/blk.c is
broken in the same way as drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c and it would be
awkward to have it use blk_dax_get() / blk_dax_put().  The
percpu_refcount should be valid for all queues and it will only ever
be > 1 in the blk_mq and libnvdimm cases (for now).  Will fix.
Looking at this a bit more it might actually make sense to grab the
referene in common code before calling into ->make_request.

Jens, any opinion on that?
