From: Roland Dreier <[email protected]> After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary.
This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.
