block: mq-deadline: Fix write completion handling
For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to __blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually another request is submitted. This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled. Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request() if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.
