Christoph Hellwig 3dd60fb9d9 nvdimm/pmem: stop using q_usage_count as external pgmap refcount
Originally all DAX access when through block_device operations and thus
needed a queue reference.  But since commit cccbce6715
("filesystem-dax: convert to dax_direct_access()") all this happens at
the DAX device level which uses its own refcounting.  Having the external
refcount thus wasn't needed but has otherwise been harmless for long
time.

But now that "block: drain file system I/O on del_gendisk" waits for
q_usage_count to reach 0 in del_gendisk this whole scheme can't work
anymore (and pmem is the only driver abusing q_usage_count like that).
So switch to the internal reference and remove the unbalanced
blk_freeze_queue_start that is taken care of by del_gendisk.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
