4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit c1d7ecf7ca11d0edd3085262c8597203440d056c upstream. Requeuing a request immediately while path initialization is ongoing causes high CPU usage, something that is undesired. Hence delay requeuing while path initialization is in progress.
