Subject: [PATCH 5.4 125/165] block: Fix a lockdep complaint triggered by request queue flushing

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@....org>

[ Upstream commit b3c6a59975415bde29cfd76ff1ab008edbf614a9 ]

Avoid that running test nvme/012 from the blktests suite triggers the
following false positive lockdep complaint:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.0.0-rc3-xfstests-00015-g1236f7d60242 #841 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
ksoftirqd/1/16 is trying to acquire lock:
000000000282032e (&(&fq->mq_flush_lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: flush_end_io+0x4e/0x1d0

but task is already holding lock:
00000000cbadcbc2 (&(&fq->mq_flush_lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: flush_end_io+0x4e/0x1d0

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&(&fq->mq_flush_lock)->rlock);
  lock(&(&fq->mq_flush_lock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

1 lock held by ksoftirqd/1/16:
 #0: 00000000cbadcbc2 (&(&fq->mq_flush_lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: flush_end_io+0x4e/0x1d0
