Subject: [PATCH 10/13] blk-mq: remove set of bd->last when get driver tag for next request fails

Commit 113285b473824 ("blk-mq: ensure that bd->last is always set
correctly") will set last if we failed to get driver tag for next
request to avoid flush miss as we break the list walk and will not
send the last request in the list which will be sent with last set
normally.
This code seems stale now becase the flush introduced is always
redundant as:
For case tag is really out, we will send a extra flush if we find
list is not empty after list walk.
For case some tag is freed before retry in blk_mq_prep_dispatch_rq for
next, then we can get a tag for next request in retry and flush notified
already is not necessary.

Just remove these stale codes.
