cfq-iosched: use call_rcu() instead of doing grace period stall on queue exit 



After the merge of the IO controller patches, booting on my megaraid
box ran much slower. Vivek Goyal traced it down to megaraid discovery
creating tons of devices, each suffering a grace period when they later
kill that queue (if no device is found).

So lets use call_rcu() to batch these deferred frees, instead of taking
the grace period hit for each one.
