[PATCH] blk_start_queue() must be called with irq disabled - add warning

The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with
irq disabling primitives.  Some primitives already verify this.
blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be
disabled.

Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue
spinlock is set.
