[PATCH 4.4 44/48] blk-mq: Always schedule hctx->next_cpu

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit c02ebfdddbafa9a6a0f52fbd715e6bfa229af9d3 upstream.

Commit 0e87e58bf60e ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead.  Problem is, in the
last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
workaround.

The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
in hctx->next_cpu.  This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.
