Since blk_mq_requeue_work() starts stopped queues and since
execution of this function can be scheduled after a queue has
been stopped it is not possible to stop queues without using
an additional state variable to track whether or not the queue
has been stopped. Hence modify blk_mq_requeue_work() such that it
does not start stopped queues. My conclusion after a review of
the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() and blk_mq_{delay_,}kick_requeue_list()
callers is as follows:
* In the dm driver starting and stopping queues should only happen
if __dm_suspend() or __dm_resume() is called and not if the
requeue list is processed.
* In the SCSI core queue stopping and starting should only be
performed by the scsi_internal_device_block() and
scsi_internal_device_unblock() functions but not by any other
function. Although the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call in
scsi_queue_rq() may help to reduce CPU load if a LLD queue is
full, figuring out whether or not a queue should be restarted
when requeueing a command would require to introduce additional
locking in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() to avoid a race with
scsi_internal_device_block(). Avoid this complexity by removing
the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq().
* In the NVMe core only the functions that call
blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() explicitly should start stopped
queues.
* A blk_mq_start_stopped_hwqueues() call must be added in the
xen-blkfront driver in its blkif_recover() function.
