Bart Van Assche dc9edc44de block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression
Avoid that the following complaint is reported:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2790
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 41, name: rcuop/3
 1 lock held by rcuop/3/41:
  #0:  (rcu_callback){......}, at: [<ffffffff8111f9a2>] rcu_nocb_kthread+0x282/0x500
 Call Trace:

  blkcg_exit_queue+0x35/0x40
  blk_release_queue+0x42/0x130
  kobject_put+0xa9/0x190

This happens since we invoke callbacks that need to block from the
queue release handler. Fix this by pushing the final release to
a workqueue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
