From: Javier González <javier@cnexlabs.com>

commit 6adb03de406e8c92579c2e4b11640841fa908277 upstream.

When an I/O finishes, full blocks are moved from the open to the closed
list - a lock is taken to protect the list. This happens at the moment
in the interrupt context, which is not correct.

This patch moves this logic to the block workqueue instead, avoiding
holding a spinlock without interrupt save in an interrupt context.
