Re: kernel BUG at cfq-iosched.c triggered by EMC multipathing

I don't see this on the SCSI reflector, so I suspect the size of the
attachments was over the limit; trimming for a resend.

Without exact source, it's hard to be certain, but I'd suspect this bug
on:

static void cfq_put_queue(struct cfq_queue *cfqq)
{
struct cfq_data *cfqd = cfqq->cfqd;
struct cfq_group *cfqg, *orig_cfqg;

BUG_ON(atomic_read(&cfqq->ref) <= 0);

So best guess would be a reference counting error in the way scsi_dh_emc
sends trespass commands.
