[PATCH v12 2/2] blk-mq: Rework blk-mq timeout handling again

[Bart Van Assche]

Recently the blk-mq timeout handling code was reworked. See also Tejun
Heo, "[PATCHSET v4] blk-mq: reimplement timeout handling", 08 Jan 2018
(https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg16985.html).
This patch reworks the blk-mq timeout handling code again. The timeout
handling code is simplified by introducing a state machine per request.
This change avoids that the blk-mq timeout handling code ignores
completions that occur after blk_mq_check_expired() has been called and
before blk_mq_rq_timed_out() has been called.

Fix this race as follows:
- Replace the __deadline member of struct request by a new member
  called das that contains the generation number, state and deadline.
  Only 32 bits are used for the deadline field such that all three
  fields occupy only 64 bits. This change reduces the maximum supported
  request timeout value from (2**63/HZ) to (2**31/HZ).
- Remove all request member variables that became superfluous due to
  this change: gstate, gstate_seq and aborted_gstate_sync.
- Remove the request state information that became superfluous due to
  this patch, namely RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED.
- Remove the code that became superfluous due to this change, namely
  the RCU lock and unlock statements in blk_mq_complete_request() and
  also the synchronize_rcu() call in the timeout handler.

Notes:
- A spinlock is used to protect atomic changes of rq->das on those
  architectures that do not provide a cmpxchg64() implementation.
- Atomic instructions are only used to update the request state if
  a concurrent request state change could be in progress.
- blk_add_timer() has been split into two functions - one for the
  legacy block layer and one for blk-mq.
