Bart Van Assche 52d7f1b5c2 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.
