When blk_get_request() fails to allocate one request, there is no way
to make underlying queue's RESTART to restart DM's queue, this patch
applies the new introduced blk_mq_alloc_request_notify() to deal with
this issue.
The following issues can be addressed:
1) When the blk_get_request() fails, finaly dm-rq will return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE to blk-mq, then blk-mq will run queue after 10ms, this
delay may degrade dm-rq performance a lot when any underlying device
attached to the same host is accessed directly.
2) there can't be a way to figure out a perfect delay for running queue
in the situation 1), and if the delay is too small, request can be dequeued
from DM queue too quick, then sequential IO performance gets hurt.
This approach is suggested by Jens, and has been used in blk-mq dispatch
patch for a while, see blk_mq_mark_tag_wait().
