Agreed - what I wrote is wrong.

I think it is on purpose that blk_queue_start_drain() freezes the 
request queue and never unfreezes it. So if you want to change this 
behavior it's up to you to motivate why you want to change this behavior 
and also why it is safe to make that change. See also commit 
d3cfb2a0ac0b ("block: block new I/O just after queue is set as dying").
