OK, if you're fine with that, how does this patch look?

I can take it through my rc-fixes tree (with your ack), since I'm a bit
late on the merge window now.

Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] Fix oops caused by queue refcounting failure

In certain circumstances, we can get an oops from a torn down device.
Most notably this is from CD roms trying to call scsi_ioctl. The root
cause of the problem is the fact that after scsi_remove_device() has
been called, the queue is fully torn down. This is actually wrong
since the queue can be used until the sdev release function is called.
Therefore, we add an extra reference to the queue which is released in
sdev->release, so the queue always exists.

Also export blk_queue_get/blk_queue_put for the refcounting.
