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

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.

/**
* blk_release_queue: - release a &struct request_queue when it is no longer needed
* @kobj: the kobj belonging to the request queue to be released
* __blk_release_queue - release a request queue when it is no longer needed
* @work: pointer to the release_work member of the request queue to be released
*
* Description:
* blk_release_queue is the pair to blk_init_queue() or
* blk_queue_make_request(). It should be called when a request queue is
* being released; typically when a block device is being de-registered.
* Currently, its primary task it to free all the &struct request
* structures that were allocated to the queue and the queue itself.
* blk_release_queue is the counterpart of blk_init_queue(). It should be
* called when a request queue is being released; typically when a block
* device is being de-registered. Its primary task it to free the queue
* itself.
*
* Note:
* Notes:
* The low level driver must have finished any outstanding requests first
* via blk_cleanup_queue().
