dm: fix deadlock with request based dm and queue request_fn recursion
Request based dm attempts to re-run the request queue off the request completion path. If used with a driver that potentially does end_io from its request_fn, we could deadlock trying to recurse back into request dispatch. Fix this by punting the request queue run to kblockd. Tested to fix a quickly reproducible deadlock in such a scenario. Cc: stable@kernel.org Acked-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
