    md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exit · da9cf505
    NeilBrown authored
    blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists,
    so make sure that it does.
    To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock
    and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock.
    
    As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now
    take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions.  We don't
    need the locking, just the warning removal.
    
    This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is
    which is 2.6.37 and later.
