Requests are unprepared and reprepared when being requeued. Avoid that requeuing resets .jiffies_at_alloc and .retries by initializing these two member variables from inside scsi_initialize_rq() and by preserving both member variables when preparing a request. This patch affects the requeuing behavior of both the legacy scsi and the scsi-mq code paths.
