Even though RCU lock is held during dispatch, preemption or interrupt
can happen too, so it is simply wrong to depend on the timing to make
sure __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() can see the request in this situation.
It is very unlikely that this race will ever be hit because that race
exists for less than one microsecond and the smallest timeout that can
be specified for delayed queue rerunning is one millisecond. Let's
address this race if anyone ever finds a way to hit it.

The above introduces two changes that have not been mentioned in the
description of this patch:
- The queue rerunning delay is changed from 3 ms into 10 ms. Where is the
explanation of this change? Does this change have a positive or negative
performance impact?
How can that be a issue for SCSI? The rerunning delay is only triggered
when there isn't any in-flight requests in SCSI queue.
That change will result in more scsi_queue_rq() calls and hence in
higher CPU usage. By how much the CPU usage is increased will depend on
the CPU time required by the LLD .queuecommand() callback if that
function gets invoked.
