Subject: [PATCH 2/2] null_blk: restart request processing on completion handler

When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer) and queue_mode=1
(Block interface to use is rq), the completion handler should restart
request handling for any pending requests on a queue because request
processing stops when the number of commands are queued more than
hw_queue_depth (null_rq_prep_fn returns BLKPREP_DEFER).

Without this change, the following command cannot finish.

	# modprobe null_blk irqmode=2 queue_mode=1 hw_queue_depth=1
	# fio --name=t --rw=read --size=1g --direct=1 \
	  --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --filename=/dev/nullb0
