dm: fix free_rq_clone() NULL pointer when requeueing unmapped request
Commit 02233342 ("dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq") mistakenly removed free_rq_clone()'s clone->q check before testing clone->q->mq_ops. It was an oversight to discontinue that check for 1 of the 2 use-cases for free_rq_clone(): 1) free_rq_clone() called when an unmapped original request is requeued 2) free_rq_clone() called in the request-based IO completion path The clone->q check made sense for case #1 but not for #2. However, we cannot just reinstate the check as it'd mask a serious bug in the IO completion case #2 -- no in-flight request should have an uninitialized request_queue (basic block layer refcounting _should_ ensure this). The NULL pointer seen for case #1 is detailed here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00160.html Fix this free_rq_clone() NULL pointer by simply checking if the mapped_device's type is DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED (clone's queue is blk-mq) rather than checking clone->q->mq_ops. This avoids the need to dereference clone->q, but a WARN_ON_ONCE is added to let us know if an uninitialized clone request is being completed.
