rbd: rework rbd_request_fn()
commit bc1ecc65 upstream. While it was never a good idea to sleep in request_fn(), commit 34c6bc2c ("locking/mutexes: Add extra reschedule point") made it a *bad* idea. mutex_lock() since 3.15 may reschedule *before* putting task on the mutex wait queue, which for tasks in !TASK_RUNNING state means block forever. request_fn() may be called with !TASK_RUNNING on the way to schedule() in io_schedule(). Offload request handling to a workqueue, one per rbd device, to avoid calling blocking primitives from rbd_request_fn().
