Jens Axboe dac07ec121 [BLOCK] limit request_fn recursion
Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.

Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.

This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.
