Subject: [PATCH 4.4 91/91] dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 47ace7e012b9f7ad71d43ac9063d335ea3d6820b upstream.

Move blk_queue_make_request() to dm.c:alloc_dev() so that
q->make_request_fn is never NULL during the lifetime of a DM device
(even one that is created without a DM table).

Otherwise generic_make_request() will crash simply by doing:
  dmsetup create -n test
  mount /dev/dm-N /mnt

While at it, move ->congested_data initialization out of
dm.c:alloc_dev() and into the bio-based specific init method.

[smb: adjusted for context and dm_init_md_queue() exitsting in older
      kernels, and congested_data embedded in backing_dev_info, and
      dm_init_normal_md_queue() was called dm_init_old_md_queue()]
