Looks like we still depend on this nr_pending for blk-legacy.

Call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() every time a

blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter only accounts the driver tags. This will only work w/o io scheduler

Seems not safe here.

For blk-mq path:
Someone may have escaped from the preempt checking, missed the blk_pm_request_resume there,
entered into generic_make_request, but have not allocated request and occupied any tag.

There could be a similar scenario for blk-legacy path, the q->nr_pending is increased when
request is queued.

So I guess the q_usage_counter checking is still needed here.
