blk-mq: Avoid that requeueing starts stopped queues
Since blk_mq_requeue_work() starts stopped queues and since execution of this function can be scheduled after a queue has been stopped it is not possible to stop queues without using an additional state variable to track whether or not the queue has been stopped. Hence modify blk_mq_requeue_work() such that it does not start stopped queues. My conclusion after a review of the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() and blk_mq_{delay_,}kick_requeue_list() callers is as follows: * In the dm driver starting and stopping queues should only happen if __dm_suspend() or __dm_resume() is called and not if the requeue list is processed. * In the SCSI core queue stopping and starting should only be performed by the scsi_internal_device_block() and scsi_internal_device_unblock() functions but not by any other function. Although the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call in scsi_queue_rq() may help to reduce CPU load if a LLD queue is full, figuring out whether or not a queue should be restarted when requeueing a command would require to introduce additional locking in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() to avoid a race with scsi_internal_device_block(). Avoid this complexity by removing the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq(). * In the NVMe core only the functions that call blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() explicitly should start stopped queues. * A blk_mq_start_stopped_hwqueues() call must be added in the xen-blkfront driver in its blkif_recover() function.
