Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 80/93] s390/scm_blk: fix deadlock for requests != REQ_TYPE_FS

4.2.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b707c65ae70e24c47a0ce4a7279224ce8f0ffb7f upstream.

When we refuse a non REQ_TYPE_FS request in the build request function
we already hold the queue lock. Thus we must not call blk_end_request_all
but __blk_end_request_all.
