[GIT PULL] virtio_blk fix for 3.15

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Tue May 27 2014 - 10:44:49 EST


Hi,

There's a start/stop queue race in virtio_blk, which causes stalls and
erratic behaviour for some. I've had this queued up for 3.16 for a
while, but I think we should push it into the current series as well. So
I cherry picked the commit and added a stable marker as well, so it can
propagate down.

Please pull!
