c616cbee97ae ("blk-mq: punt failed direct issue to dispatch list") supposed to add request which has been through ->queue_rq() to the hw queue dispatch list, however it adds request running out of budget or driver tag to hw queue too. This way basically bypasses request merge, and causes too many request dispatched to LLD, and system% is unnecessary increased. Fixes this issue by adding request not through ->queue_rq into sw/scheduler queue, and this way is safe because no ->queue_rq is called on this request yet. High %system can be observed on Azure storvsc device, and even soft lock is observed. This patch reduces %system during heavy sequential IO, meantime decreases soft lockup risk.
