If blk_get_request() fails check whether the failure is due to a path being removed. If that is the case fail the path by triggering a call to fail_path(). This patch avoids that the following scenario can be encountered while removing paths: * CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%. * Removing the dm device becomes impossible. Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK because in these cases immediate requeuing is inappropriate.
