block: clarify context for refcount increment helpers
Let us clarify the context under which the helpers to increment the refcount for the gendisk and request_queue can be called under. We make this explicit on the places where we may sleep with might_sleep(). We don't address the decrement context yet, as that needs some extra work and fixes, but will be addressed in the next patch.
