I screwed this up when splitting up the patchset, that last break needs to
be removed as well, of course. Updated below:

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] blk-mq: fix potential race in queue restart and driver
 tag allocation

Once we mark the queue as needing a restart, re-check if we can
get a driver tag. This fixes a theoretical issue where the needed
IO completes _after_ blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, but before we
manage to set the restart bit.
