    We got a null pointer deference BUG_ON in blk_mq_rq_timed_out()

    The bug is caused by the race between timeout handle and completion for
    flush request.
    
    When timeout handle function blk_mq_rq_timed_out() try to read
    'req->q->mq_ops', the 'req' have completed and reinitiated by next
    flush request, which would call blk_rq_init() to clear 'req' as 0.
    
    After commit 12f5b931 ("blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce"),
    normal requests lifetime are protected by refcount. Until 'rq->ref'
    drop to zero, the request can really be free. Thus, these requests
    cannot been reused before timeout handle finish.
    
    However, flush request has defined .end_io and rq->end_io() is still
    called even if 'rq->ref' doesn't drop to zero. After that, the 'flush_rq'
    can be reused by the next flush request handle, resulting in null
    pointer deference BUG ON.
    
    We fix this problem by covering flush request with 'rq->ref'.
    If the refcount is not zero, flush_end_io() return and wait the
    last holder recall it. To record the request status, we add a new
    entry 'rq_status', which will be used in flush_end_io().

    -------
    v2:
     - move rq_status from struct request to struct blk_flush_queue
    v3:
     - remove unnecessary '{}' pair.
    v4:
     - let spinlock to protect 'fq->rq_status'
    v5:
     - move rq_status after flush_running_idx member of struct blk_flush_queue
