Dispatching requests inline with the .queue_rq() call may block while holding the send_mutex. If the tcp io_work also happens to schedule, it may see the req_list is non-empty, leaving "pending" true and remaining in TASK_RUNNING. Since io_work is of higher scheduling priority, the .queue_rq task may not get a chance to run, blocking forward progress and leading to io timeouts. Instead of checking for pending requests within io_work, let the queueing restart io_work outside the send_mutex lock if there is more work to be done.
