Subject: blk-mq: Do not invoke .queue_rq() for a stopped queue

From: Bart Van Assche <[email protected]>

commit bc27c01b5c46d3bfec42c96537c7a3fae0bb2cc4 upstream.

The meaning of the BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is "do not call .queue_rq()". Hence modify blk_mq_make_request() such that requests are queued instead of issued if a queue has been stopped.
