Subject: [PATCH] dm mpath: requeue after a small delay if blk_get_request()
fails
If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map()
causes a request to be requeued immediately. This can cause a kworker
thread to spend 100% of the CPU time of a single core in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and also can cause device removal to never
finish.
Avoid this by only requeuing after a delay if blk_get_request() fails.
Additionally, reduce the requeue delay.
