This patch should fix the bug reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249.
We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when
allocating storage for the requests.
Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized pointers when
racing with the creation of a request.
Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point where a
request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush request indicators
that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers in blk_mq_timeout_check().

We thing this patch is fine and should go upstream.
I might have to pick'n rebase the series, in which case I'll add it. But
I already queued it up last week, so if I don't, then I can't easily add
it. I wish the git notes wasn't such a horrible and unusable hack, so we
had a chance to annotate commits without having to rewrite history...
