blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request
Reserving a tag (request) for flush to avoid dead lock is a overkill. A
tag is valuable resource. We can track the number of flush requests and
disallow having too many pending flush requests allocated. With this
patch, blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned() could do a busy nop (but not a dead
loop) if too many pending requests are allocated and new flush request
is allocated. But this should not be a problem, too many pending flush
requests are very rare case.
I verified this can fix the deadlock caused by too many pending flush
requests.
