Is this something which actually happens?  Why would an unregistered
queue registered again?  Do we even support that?

Starting a bypass mode can be very expensive and some drivers create
and destroy a lot of queues during probing.  We don't want a call to
blk_queue_bypass_start() on every queue creation / destruction cycle.

Thanks.
