6.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 6bda857bcbb86fb9d0e54fbef93a093d51172acc upstream.

Supposing the following scenario.

CPU0                        CPU1

blk_mq_insert_request()     1) store
                            blk_mq_unquiesce_queue()
                            blk_queue_flag_clear()                3) store
                              blk_mq_run_hw_queues()
                                blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
                                  if (!blk_mq_hctx_has_pending()) 4) load
                                    return
blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
  if (blk_queue_quiesced()) 2) load
    return
  blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()

The full memory barrier should be inserted between 1) and 2), as well as
between 3) and 4) to make sure that either CPU0 sees QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED
is cleared or CPU1 sees dispatch list or setting of bitmap of software
queue. Otherwise, either CPU will not rerun the hardware queue causing
starvation.

So the first solution is to 1) add a pair of memory barrier to fix the
problem, another solution is to 2) use hctx->queue->queue_lock to
synchronize QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED. Here, we chose 2) to fix it since
memory barrier is not easy to be maintained.
