Christoph Hellwig d92ca9d834 blk-mq: don't handle non-flush requests in blk_insert_flush
Return to the normal blk_mq_submit_bio flow if the bio did not end up
actually being a flush because the device didn't support it.  Note that
this is basically impossible to hit without special instrumentation given
that submit_bio_checks already clears these flags usually, so we'd need a
tight race to actually hit this code path.

With this the call to blk_mq_run_hw_queue for the flush requests can be
removed given that the actual flush requests are always issued via the
requeue workqueue which runs the queue unconditionally.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
