[PATCH v4 2/8] block: fix zone write plugs refcount handling in disk_zone_wplug_schedule_bio_work()

[Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org>]

The function disk_zone_wplug_schedule_bio_work() always takes a
reference on the zone write plug of the BIO work being scheduled. This
ensures that the zone write plug cannot be freed while the BIO work is
being scheduled but has not run yet. However, this unconditional
reference taking is fragile since the reference taken is released by the
BIO work blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() function, which implies that there
always must be a 1:1 relation between the work being scheduled and the
work running.

Make sure to drop the reference taken when scheduling the BIO work if
the work is already scheduled, that is, when queue_work() returns false.
