From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Under heavy I/O, one hardware queue may be unable to dispatch any I/O to the
device layer. This poses a problem with restarting this hardware queue on I/O
finish in blk_mq_sched_restart_queues(), becaue there is nothing pending that
will finish in future on this hardware qeueu. This will result in deadlock.
With this patch, we check for all possible stalled hardware queues when I/O
finishes on any hardware queues. This prevents this deadlock.
