[Greg KH]

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

commit 0a58e077eb600d1efd7e54ad9926a75a39d7f8ae upstream.

blk_cleanup_queue() calls elevator_exit() and after this, we can't
touch the elevator without oopsing.  __elv_next_request() must check
for this state because in the refcounted queue model, we can still
call it after blk_cleanup_queue() has been called.

This was reported as causing an oops attributable to scsi.
