Perhaps all we need to track is the outermost point?

submit_bio(...)
{
        bool remove_the_rq = false;

        ...
        if (current->the_rq == NULL) {
                current->the_rq = rq;
                remove_the_rq = true;
        }
        ...
        if (remove_the_rq)
                current->the_rq = NULL;
}
