Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: end the request if getting a keyslot fails

When blk_crypto_rq_get_keyslot() fails, blk_mq_submit_bio() ends the bio by hand and frees the request. By then blk_mq_bio_to_request() has done the IO accounting, which blk_mq_free_request() doesn't undo, so the in_flight counter never drops and iostat shows a device that is 100% busy. If the bio went through zone write plugging the zone stays plugged as well, and every later write to it waits forever.

Use blk_mq_end_request() like the dispatch path does for a request the driver rejected, after marking it for zone write plugging.

Move the call to blk_zone_write_plug_init_request() before blk_crypto_rq_get_keyslot() so that it doesn't need to be duplicated. It doesn't depend on the keyslot.
