I think this should be a separate patch with own commit message and
explanation. I guess you can kill 'dev' as well then?

Please, provide better explanation in the commit message about which
problem you solve, why you do this, and how you tested this.
blktrans_dev_release() also calls blk_cleanup_queue() - why we need to
do it 2 times?
