[PATCH V2 1/5] dm-mpath: don't call blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() in case of BLK_STS_RESOURCE

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

If .queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk-mq will rerun the queue in
the three situations:

1) if BLK_MQ_S_SCHED_RESTART is set
- queue is rerun after one rq is completed, see blk_mq_sched_restart()
which is run from blk_mq_free_request()

2) run out of driver tag
- queue is rerun after one tag is freed

3) otherwise
- queue is run immediately in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()

This random dealy of running hw queue is introduced by commit 6077c2d706097c0
(dm rq: Avoid that request processing stalls sporadically), which claimed
one request processing stalling is fixed, but never explained the behind
idea, and it is a workaound at most. Even the question isn't explained by
anyone in recent discussion.

Also calling blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() inside .queue_rq() is a horrible
hack because it makes BLK_MQ_S_SCHED_RESTART not working, and degrades I/O
peformance a lot.

Finally this patch makes sure that dm-rq returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE to blk-mq
only when underlying queue is out of resource, so we switch to return
DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEU if either MPATHF_QUEUE_IO or MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED
is set in multipath_clone_and_map().
