Subject: [GIT PULL] Final block fixes for 3.17

Hi Linus,

This week and last we've been fixing some corner cases related to
blk-mq, mostly. I ended up pulling most of that out of for-linus
yesterday, which is why the branch looks fresh. The rest were postponed
for 3.18.

This pull request contains:

- Fix from Christoph, avoiding a stack overflow when FUA insertion would
  recursive infinitely.

- Fix from David Hildenbrand on races between the timeout handler and
  uninitialized requests. Fixes a real issue that virtio_blk has run
  into.

- A few fixes from me:

        - Ensure that request deadline/timeout is ordered before the
          request is marked as started.

        - A potential oops on out-of-memory, when we scale the queue
          depth of the device and retry.

        - A hang fix on requeue from SCSI, where the hardware queue
          would be stopped when we attempt to re-run it (and hence
          nothing would happen, stalling progress).

        - A fix for commit 2da78092, where the cleanup path was moved
          to RCU, but a debug might_sleep() was inadvertently left in
          the code. This causes warnings for people.

Please pull!
