From: Halil Pasic <pasic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f5f6b95c72f7f8bb46eace8c5306c752d0133daa upstream. Since nobody else is going to restart our hw_queue for us, the blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() is in virtblk_done() is not sufficient necessarily sufficient to ensure that the queue will get started again. In case of global resource outage (-ENOMEM because mapping failure, because of swiotlb full) our virtqueue may be empty and we can get stuck with a stopped hw_queue. Let us not stop the queue on arbitrary errors, but only on -EONSPC which indicates a full virtqueue, where the hw_queue is guaranteed to get started by virtblk_done() before when it makes sense to carry on submitting requests. Let us also remove a stale comment.
