[PATCH] fix NMI lockup with CFQ scheduler
The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again. The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
