 ->dispatch are flushed

This looks good in general:

Minor nitpicks below:

This is now only tested once, so you can remove the local variable
for it.

Use your 80 line real estate for comments please.

Maybe flatten this out to:

	if (e && e->type->ops.mq.dispatch_request) {
		blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(q, e, hctx);
	} else if (q->queue_depth) {
		blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx(q, hctx);
	} else {
		blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs(hctx, &rq_list);
		blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(q, &rq_list);
	}
