This is missing from 3.{0,4} but I did apply it to 3.2, again with the
need to adjust context.

Perhaps the intermediate fixes to blk_execute_rq_nowait() that resulted
in the changed context should also be applied to stable updates. The
fixes in question are:

8ba61435d73f block: add missing blk_queue_dead() checks
- applied in 3.3; missing from 3.{0,2}.y
e81ca6fe85b7 [SCSI] block: Fix blk_execute_rq_nowait() dead queue handling
- applied in 3.6; missing from 3.{0,2,4,5}.y
893d290f1d74 block: Don't access request after it might be freed
- applied in 3.7, then to 3.{2,6}.y; missing from 3.{0,4}.y

Jens?
