Previously, if a fs request which was being drained failed and got
requeued, blk_do_ordered() didn't allow it to be reissued, which
causes queue stall. This patch makes blk_do_ordered() use the
sequence of each request to determine whether a request can be issued
or not. This fixes the bug and simplifies code.

What kernel(s) is this against? The patch seems to fail on 2.6.15.

Thanks
