Hey Christoph,

I see the request timer is started before calling queue_rq, but I could
not figure out what the cancel_delayed_work here is for exactly. It
seems if the request were to time out and the eh started while queue_rq
was running we could end up some nasty bugs like the requested requeued
twice.

Is the cancel_delayed_work call just to be safe or is supposed to be
handling a case where the abort_work could be queued at this time up due
to a request timing out while queue_rq is running? Is this case mq specific?
