I got system stall after the following warning with 3.6:

blk_put_rl() does this:
         if (rl->blkg && rl->blkg->blkcg != &blkcg_root)
                 blkg_put(rl->blkg);
but if rl is q->root_rl, rl->blkg might be a bogus pointer
because blkcg_deactivate_policy() does not clear q->root_rl.blkg
after blkg_destroy_all().

Attached patch works for me.
