OK, so with your blk-mq patch in place to always call
blk_mq_finish_request() in blk_mq_complete_request() regardless of
rq->end_io, the preceding scsi_mq_end_request() can now simply call
blk_mq_end_io() for both BLOCK_RQ and FS request types.

Thanks for fixing up that bit of ugliness.  ;)

Jens, care to review+include Mike's change into your working branch..?
