If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map() causes a request to be requeued immediately. This can cause a kworker thread to spend 100% of the CPU time of a single core in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and also can cause device removal to never finish. Avoid this by only requeuing after a delay if blk_get_request() fails. Additionally, reduce the requeue delay.
