I'd rather write the function something like:

 	spin_lock_irq(&info->io_lock);
 	if (RING_FULL(&info->ring))
		goto out_busy;
 	if (blkif_request_flush_invalid(qd->rq, info))
		goto out_error;
  
	if (blkif_queue_request(qd->rq))
		goto out_busy;

  	flush_requests(info);
  	spin_unlock_irq(&info->io_lock);
  	return BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_OK;
out_error:
	spin_unlock_irq(&info->io_lock);
	return BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_ERROR;
out_busy:
	spin_unlock_irq(&info->io_lock);
	blk_mq_stop_hw_queue(hctx);
	return BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY;
}

Also this really should be merged into the first patch.
