I only see failure if I stack dm-mq ontop of old non-mq scsi devices with:

echo N > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo Y > /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq

If I use scsi-mq for the underlying devices all works fine (been testing
the latest dm-4.6 branch though, I'll go back and try stock 4.5-rc4 just
to double check).

But this makes me think the novelty of having dm-mq support stacking on
non-blk-mq devices was misplaced.  It is a senseless config.  I'll
probably remove support for such stacking soon (next week).
