[PATCH] block: mq-deadline: check if elevator is attached to queue in dd_finish_request

From: Elijah Wright
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 16:57:51 EST


in dd_finish_request(), per_prio points to a rq->elv.priv[0], which could be
free memory if an in-flight requests completes after its associated scheduler
has been freed
