Subject: block: Fix a race between blk_cleanup_queue() and timeout handling

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@wdc.com>

commit 4e9b6f20828ac880dbc1fa2fdbafae779473d1af upstream.

Make sure that if the timeout timer fires after a queue has been
marked "dying" that the affected requests are finished.
