blk_mq_sched_insert_request: inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage

Hi Jens,

I'm seeing the lockdep warning below on shutdown on a Power8 machine
using IPR.

If I'm reading it right it looks like the spin_lock() (non-irq) in
blk_mq_sched_insert_request() is the immediate cause.

Looking at blk_mq_requeue_work() (the caller), it is doing
spin_lock_irqsave(). So is switching blk_mq_sched_insert_request() to
spin_lock_irqsave() the right fix?

cheers
