Subject: [PATCH 5.14 294/849] block: remove inaccurate requeue check

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

[ Upstream commit 037057a5a979c7eeb2ee5d12cf4c24b805192c75 ]

This check is meant to catch cases where a requeue is attempted on a
request that is still inserted. It's never really been useful to catch any
misuse, and now it's actively wrong. Outside of that, this should not be a
BUG_ON() to begin with.

Remove the check as it's now causing active harm, as requeue off the plug
path will trigger it even though the request state is just fine.
