After rq2 is added to ->dispatch_list in blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(),
no matter if list_empty(list) is empty or not, queue will be run either from
blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() or blk_mq_sched_insert_requests().

And rq2 should be visible to the run queue, just wondering why rq2 isn't
issued finally?
