Brian King 38f1852759 [PATCH] block: CFQ refcounting fix 
I ran across a memory leak related to the cfq scheduler. The cfq
init function increments the refcnt of the associated request_queue.

This refcount gets decremented in cfq's exit function. Since blk_cleanup_queue
only calls the elevator exit function when its refcnt goes to zero, the
request_q never gets cleaned up. It didn't look like other io schedulers were
incrementing this refcnt, so I removed the refcnt increment and it fixed the
memory leak for me.

To reproduce the problem, simply use cfq and use the scsi_host scan sysfs
attribute to scan "- - -" repeatedly on a scsi host and watch the memory
vanish.
