I'm not sure this fix makes sense.  Cleanup path oopses on an already
freed resource.  How can the solution be not freeing?  Why not simply
make blkcg_drain_queue() bail if the blkgs are all destroyed?  The
whole thing is fully synchronized with the queuelock, right?

Can you please also cc Jens when you post the next iteration?

Thanks.
