Subject: [PATCH 04/17] block: merge blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue()

Impact: merge two subtly different internal functions

__blk_run_queue wraps blk_invoke_request_fn() such that it
additionally removes plug and bails out early if the queue is empty.
Both extra operations have their own pending mechanisms and don't
cause any harm correctness-wise when they are done superflously.

The only user of blk_invoke_request_fn() being blk_start_queue(),
there isn't much reason to keep both functions around.  Merge
blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue() and make
blk_start_queue() use __blk_run_queue() instead.
