How? On a block device the caller needs to hold the block device open
to read/write from it. On a file systems the file systems needs to
be mounted, which also holds a bdev reference.

But we need to avoid going into the lowlevel blk-mq polling code to not
reference the potentially freed hctxs or tags as correctly pointed by
yourself on the previous iteration.
