Currently, bfq does very little in bfq_requests_merged() and handles all the request cleanup in bfq_finish_requeue_request() called from blk_mq_free_request(). That is currently safe only because blk_mq_free_request() is called shortly after bfq_requests_merged() while bfqd->lock is still held. However to fix a lock inversion between bfqd->lock and ioc->lock, we need to call blk_mq_free_request() after dropping bfqd->lock. That would mean that already merged request could be seen by other processes inside bfq queues and possibly dispatched to the device which is wrong. So move cleanup of the request from bfq_finish_requeue_request() to bfq_requests_merged().

README
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.
