Running the queue is not sufficient. With this patch applied it can happen
that the block driver returns BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE, that the two or more
concurrent queue runs finish before sufficient device resources are available
to execute the request and that blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() does not get
called at all. If no other activity triggers a queue run, e.g. request
completion, this will result in a queue stall.
