Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.9 103/147] block: Consider only dispatched requests for inflight statistic

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@...labora.com>

[ Upstream commit a926c7afffcc0f2e35e6acbccb16921bacf34617 ]

According to Documentation/block/stat.rst, inflight should not include
I/O requests that are in the queue but not yet dispatched to the device,
but blk-mq identifies as inflight any request that has a tag allocated,
which, for queues without elevator, happens at request allocation time
and before it is queued in the ctx (default case in blk_mq_submit_bio).

In addition, current behavior is different for queues with elevator from
queues without it, since for the former the driver tag is allocated at
dispatch time.  A more precise approach would be to only consider
requests with state MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT.

This effectively reverts commit 6131837b1de6 ("blk-mq: count allocated
but not started requests in iostats inflight") to consolidate blk-mq
behavior with itself (elevator case) and with original documentation,
but it differs from the behavior used by the legacy path.

This version differs from v1 by using blk_mq_rq_state to access the
state attribute.  Avoid using blk_mq_request_started, which was
suggested, since we don't want to include MQ_RQ_COMPLETE.
