Subject: [PATCH] block: fix ioc leak in put_io_context
When put_io_context is called, if ioc->icq_list is empty and refcount
is 1, kernel will not free the ioc.
This is caught by following kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff880036349fe0 (size 216):
comm "sh", pid 2137, jiffies 4294931140 (age 290579.412s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
01 00 01 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N..........
backtrace:
[<ffffffff8169f926>] kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x50
[<ffffffff81195a9c>] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1cc/0x2a0

ioc should be freed if ioc->icq_list is empty.
