block softirq can be scheduled from other code path, such as blk_mq_raise_softirq()
for single queue's remote completion, where no percpu csd schedule is needed, so
two smp_call_function_single_async() could be called, and the 2nd one
may return -EBUSY.

Not mention csd_unlock() could be called after the callback returns, see
__flush_smp_call_function_queue().

But that is fine, if there is pending block softirq, the llist is
guaranteed to be consumed because the csd callback just raises block
softirq, and request/llist is consumed in softirq handler.
