Block: Fix handling of stopped queues and a plugging issue

From: Elias Oltmanns
Date: Thu Oct 02 2008 - 11:59:44 EST


Make sure that ->request_fn() really isn't called on queues that are
supposed to be stopped. While at it, don't remove the plug in
__blk_run_queue() unconditionally since this might lead to system hangs.
