In both legacy and mq path, req count of plug list is computed
before allocating request, so the number can be stale when falling

too.

This patch deals with the case by checking if plug list becomes
empty, and fixes the KASAN report of 'BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds'
which is introduced by Shaohua's patches of dispatching big request.

Thanks Ming, added for 4.10.
