Yes, it looks like if two threads execute the blkfilter_detach() function,
then a problem is possible. The blk_mq_freeze_queue() function does not
block threads.
But for this, it is necessary that the IOCTL for the block device and
its removal are performed simultaneously. Is this possible?

I suppose that using mutex bdev->bd_disk->open_mutex in
blkfilter_ioctl_attach(), blkfilter_ioctl_detach() and
blkfilter_ioctl_ctl() can fix the problem. What do you think?
