Subject: [RFC PATCH] blk-mq: fix potential I/O hang caused by batch wakeup

The depth is 62, and the wake_batch is 8. In the following situation,
the task would hang forever.

  t1:                 t2:                          t3:
  blk_mq_get_tag      .                            .
  io_schedule         .                            .
                      elevator_switch              .
                      blk_mq_freeze_queue          .
                      blk_freeze_queue_start       .
                      blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait     .
                                                   blk_mq_submit_bio
                                                   __bio_queue_enter

Fix this issue by waking up all the waiters sleeping on tags after
freezing the queue.
