While shutting down loop controller, we first quiesce the admin/IO queue, delete the admin/IO tag-set and then at last destroy the admin/IO queue. However it's quite possible that during the window between quiescing and destroying of the admin/IO queue, some admin/IO request might sneak in and if that happens then we could potentially encounter a hung task because shutdown operation can't forward progress until any pending I/O is flushed off. This commit helps ensure that before destroying the admin/IO queue, we unquiesce the admin/IO queue so that any outstanding requests, which are added after the admin/IO queue is quiesced, are now flushed to its completion.

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 reStructuredText 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.
