I can't tell what's happening just from the backtrace but it looks like
kobject_del() is being removed twice or removed without being added. The
kobj doesn't have kernfs_node attached but then tries to remove the files
which triggers the warning. Could be a bug in blk-mq. Can't immediately tell
from scanning the source tho. A repro would be really helpful.

Thanks.
