From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit a9be202269580ca611c6cebac90eaf1795497800 upstream. io-wq assumes that an issue is blocking, but it may not be if the request type has asked for a non-blocking attempt. If we get -EAGAIN for that case, then we need to treat it as a final result and not retry or arm poll for it.
