bfe159a512 [SCSI] fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()
USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command().  What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.

The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone.  The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space).  However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.

24ecfbe27f block: add blk_run_queue_async
Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly.  I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

7eaceaccab block: remove per-queue plugging
Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

4b1977698c block: Prevent hang_check firing during long I/O
During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.

Eg.  hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb  ## can take *hours* to complete

So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
to prevent it from triggering.  This patch uses a wake-up interval
equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in

e4025f6c21 block: don't set REQ_NOMERGE unnecessarily
RQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS already clears defines which REQ flags aren't
mergeable.  There is no reason to specify it superflously.  It only
adds to confusion.  Don't set REQ_NOMERGE for barriers and requests
with specific queueing directive.  REQ_NOMERGE is now exclusively used
by the merging code.

9a2d43b756 block: handle blk_pm_resume_request() requests in blk_execute_rq_nowait()
For blk_pm_resume_request() requests (which are used only by IDE subsystem
currently) the queue is stopped so we need to call ->request_fn explicitly.

Thanks to:
- Rafael for reporting/bisecting the bug
- Borislav/Rafael for testing the fix

This is a preparation for converting IDE to use blk_execute_rq().
