I think deadlock prevention is the most important. So I want to add
BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flag.
Starvation of map request can be distinguish by return value of
blk_get_request(). -EWOULDBLOCK means there is no available tags for this
request. -EBUSY means failed on blk_queue_enter(). To overcome starvation
of map request, we can try N times in heavy traffic situation (maybe N=3?).
