Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: don't dispatch request in blk_mq_request_direct_issue if queue is busy

If we run into blk_mq_request_direct_issue(), when queue is busy, we
don't want to dispatch this request into hctx->dispatch_list, and
what we need to do is to return the queue busy info to caller, so
that caller can deal with it well.

OK so you're just leveraging blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s
ability to resort to__blk_mq_insert_request() if !q->elevator.

I tested this against Mike's latest combined tree and its stable.
This fixes the list corruption issue.
Many Thanks Ming and Mike.

I will apply it to Bart's latest SRP/SRPT tree tomorrow as its very
late here but it will clearly fix the issue in Bart's tree too.
