->queue_rq in blk-mq context is designed to be able to sleep and be called
from process context without any spinlocks held or irqs disabled, so we
really should fix the
caller instead.

That being said your trace seems odd to me:

blk_execute_rq_nowait only takes a lock for the non-blk-mq case.  In my
current kernel that's in line 79, but can you verify that for you
line 95 is the spin_lock_irq in the !q->mq_ops case?

But this clearly is the blk-mq case.  How does your version of
blk_execute_rq_nowait look like?
