[PATCH V2 13/13] block: don't drain file system I/O on del_gendisk

Commit 8e141f9eb803 ("block: drain file system I/O on del_gendisk") is
added for avoiding to reference of q->disk after disk is released, since
disk release can be done before running into blk_cleanup_queue(),
but it can't avoid the issue completely, and the approach is very
fragile:

1) queue freezing can't drain FS I/O for bio based driver, so there is
still inflight bios after disk is deleted, so blk-cgroup shutdown
can't be moved to del_gendisk(); meantime elevator shutdown can't be
moved to del_gendisk() because freezing queue isn't enough to drain
io issue activities. So both block-cgroup and elevator code may still
refer to q->disk somewhere. Same with q->disk referring for bio based
driver.

2) the added flag of GD_DEAD may not be observed reliably in
__bio_queue_enter() because queue freezing might not imply rcu grace
period.

Now we have moved blkcg, rqos and elevator shutdown code into disk_release()
where it is guaranteed that no any FS IO is inflight. Meantime we only
account passthrough IO issued from userspace, where q->disk is always
valid. Then q->disk can be guaranteed to be referred before releasing
disk.

So not necessary to drain FS I/O in del_gendisk() any more.
