Make sure that blk_cleanup_queue() is called in del_mtd_blktrans_dev().

Sorry, you told which problem you solve, but still, could you please
provide more invormation about why the problem existed and when it it
was triggered, and how you fix this and why this fix is correct.

I think this should be a separate patch with own commit message and
explanation. I guess you can kill 'dev' as well then?

Please, provide better explanation in the commit message about which
problem you solve, why you do this, and how you tested this.
blktrans_dev_release() also calls blk_cleanup_queue() - why we need to
do it 2 times?
