NeilBrown 9cff8adeaa sched: Prevent recursion in io_schedule()
io_schedule() calls blk_flush_plug() which, depending on the
contents of current->plug, can initiate arbitrary blk-io requests.

Note that this contrasts with blk_schedule_flush_plug() which requires
all non-trivial work to be handed off to a separate thread.

This makes it possible for io_schedule() to recurse, and initiating
block requests could possibly call mempool_alloc() which, in times of
memory pressure, uses io_schedule().

Apart from any stack usage issues, io_schedule() will not behave
correctly when called recursively as delayacct_blkio_start() does
not allow for repeated calls.

So:
 - use ->in_iowait to detect recursion.  Set it earlier, and restore
   it to the old value.
 - move the call to "raw_rq" after the call to blk_flush_plug().
   As this is some sort of per-cpu thing, we want some chance that
   we are on the right CPU
 - When io_schedule() is called recurively, use blk_schedule_flush_plug()
   which cannot further recurse.
 - as this makes io_schedule() a lot more complex and as io_schedule()
   must match io_schedule_timeout(), but all the changes in io_schedule_timeout()
   and make io_schedule a simple wrapper for that.
