Looking at all of the drivers, it's somewhat of a mess and a lot of it looks
like it's not even needed. I'm going to propose that we do the below first,
since it fixes the immediate regression and makes us no worse than 4.11
already was. Then we can do a round two of improving the situation, but
I'd prefer not to turn the immediate fix into a huge round of fixes and
driver touching.

Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: don't use sync workqueue flushing from drivers

A previous commit introduced the sync flush, which we need from
internal callers like blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). However, we also
call the stop helpers from drivers, particularly from ->queue_rq()
when we have to stop processing for a bit. We can't block from
those locations, and we don't have to guarantee that we're
fully flushed.

Fixes: 9f993737906b ("blk-mq: unify hctx delayed_run_work and run_work")
