Subject: [PATCH -next] block: Fix fsync always failed if once failed

We do test with inject error fault base on v4.19, after test some time we found
sync /dev/sda always failed.
[root@...alhost] sync /dev/sda
sync: error syncing '/dev/sda': Input/output error

scsi log as follows:

As 8d6996630c03 introduce 'fq->rq_status', this data only update when 'flush_rq'
reference count isn't zero. If flush request once failed and record error code
in 'fq->rq_status'. If there is no chance to update 'fq->rq_status',then do fsync
will always failed.
To address this issue reset 'fq->rq_status' after return error code to upper layer.

Fixes: 8d6996630c03("block: fix null pointer dereference in blk_mq_rq_timed_out()")
