Subject: [PATCH] block: fix blk_queue_end_tag()

Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth"
cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid
(greater than real_max_depth).  However, it changed behavior in the tag
< max_depth case to not end the request.  Leading to triggering of
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2

In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space
blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than
real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth.

Functionally the same as Tao Ma's fix [1], but just moves the warn into the
if() directly.
