We only added the request to the request list for the !blk-mq case,
so we should only delete it in that case as well.

Some types of requests may be started that are not gauranteed to ever
complete. This adds a request flag that a driver can use so mark the
request as such.

Commit 8cb34819cdd5d(blk-mq: unshared timeout handler) introduces
blk-mq's own timeout handler, and removes following line:

	blk_queue_rq_timed_out(q, blk_mq_rq_timed_out);

which then causes blk_add_timer() to bypass adding the timer,
since blk-mq no longer has q-&gt;rq_timed_out_fn defined.

This patch fixes the problem by bypassing the check for blk-mq,
so that both request deadlines are still set and the rolling
timer updated.

Duplicate the (small) timeout handler in blk-mq so that we can pass
arguments more easily to the driver timeout handler.  This enables
the next patch.

<title>blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps</title>

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.

If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.

The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

<title>blk-mq: fix race with timeouts and requeue events</title>

If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the
situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),
as to maintain proper request state.

<title>block: relax when to modify the timeout timer</title>

Since we are now, by default, applying timer slack to expiry times,
the logic for when to modify a timer in the block code is suboptimal.
The block layer keeps a forward rolling timer per queue for all
requests, and modifies this timer if a request has a shorter timeout
than what the current expiry time is. However, this breaks down
when our rounded timer values get applied slack. Then each new
request ends up modifying the timer, since we're still a little
in front of the timer + slack.

Fix this by allowing a tolerance of HZ / 2, the timeout handling
doesn't need to be very precise. This drastically cuts down
the number of timer modifications we have to make.
