[PATCH] blk-mq: fix race between complete and BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER

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

The normal request completion can be done before or during handling
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER, and this race may cause the request to never
be completed since driver's .timeout() may always return
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER.

This issue can't be fixed completely by driver, since the normal
completion can be done between returning .timeout() and handing
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER.

This patch fixes this race by introducing rq state of MQ_RQ_COMPLETE_IN_RESET,
and reading/writing rq's state by holding queue lock, which can be
per-request actually, but just not necessary to introduce one lock for
so unusual event.

This is another way to fix this long-time issue, and turns out this
solution is much simpler.
