From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions:
  1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected
  2) start pg_init if requested
  3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready

Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by
dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up
calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3).

Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or
requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from
request_fn.

If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does
the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if
!pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io().

If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected
and pg_init will be started.  pg_init is requested in 3 places:
  a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io()
  b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl()
  c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done()
a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).
c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2).

So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that
__pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations.

We only need to take care to add a small delay when calling
__pg_init_all_paths() to move processing off to a workqueue; otherwise
pg_init_done() might end up calling scsi_dh_activate() directly, which
might use non-atomic memory allocations or issue I/O.
