It appears that systemd-udevd is triggering every time HTX writes to
the boot sector (partition table) of the raw drive, and this is
causing the revalidate calls which expose the issue with the block
driver mq freeze. With a partition table on each drive, HTX will no
longer be writing the partition table and no longer triggering systemd
to re-read the partition table and try to freeze I/O.
The fix for this is provided by the following upstream commit:
966d2b0 percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic
transition
which needs to be pulled into 16.04 (as well as newer releases).
