The request_queue is not frozen, so there still could be someone enters and get
request. If no io scheduler attached, the driver tag could be allocated and 
tags->rqs[] would be set. During this, blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter could get some stale
requests in tags->rqs[] which maybe freed due to switching io scheduler to none.
