[PATCH v2] blk-mq: put the reference of the io scheduler module after switching back

From: Jinlong Chen
Date: Tue Oct 11 2022 - 20:36:35 EST


We got a reference of the io scheduler module in
blk_mq_elv_switch_none to prevent the module from
being removed. We need to put that reference back
once we are done.
