Hi Bart

Thanks for your precious time to review this and kindly detailed response.

Yes, I will add this.

But scsi_mq_put_budget is just in the fail path.

scsi_queue_rq // if any error
  -> scsi_mq_put_budget

blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list // if no driver tags
  -> blk_mq_put_dispatch_budget
    -> scsi_mq_put_budget
blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched/blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx // if no requests
  -> blk_mq_put_dispatch_budget
    -> scsi_mq_put_budget

So we have to add put_device after  blk_mq_requeue_request() and in scsi_end_request() to match the
scsi_mq_get_budget.
