block: Shorten interrupt disabled regions
Moving the blk_sched_flush_plug() call out of the interrupt/preempt
disabled region in the scheduler allows us to replace
local_irq_save/restore(flags) by local_irq_disable/enable() in
blk_flush_plug().
Now instead of doing this we disable interrupts explicitely when we
lock the request_queue and reenable them when we drop the lock. That
allows interrupts to be handled when the plug list contains requests
for more than one queue.
Aside of that this change makes the scope of the irq disabled region
more obvious. The current code confused the hell out of me when
looking at:
local_irq_save(flags);
spin_lock(q->queue_lock);
...
queue_unplugged(q...);
scsi_request_fn();
spin_unlock(q->queue_lock);
spin_lock(shost->host_lock);
spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock);
-------------------^^^ ????
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
spin_unlock(q->lock);
local_irq_restore(flags);
Also add a comment to __blk_run_queue() documenting that
q->request_fn() can drop q->queue_lock and reenable interrupts, but
must return with q->queue_lock held and interrupts disabled.
