block: Improve performance for BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING drivers

blk_mq_run_queue() runs the queue asynchronously if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING
has been set. This is suboptimal since running the queue asynchronously
is slower than running the queue synchronously. This patch modifies
blk_mq_run_queue() as follows if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has been set:
- Run the queue synchronously if it is allowed to sleep.
- Run the queue asynchronously if it is not allowed to sleep.
Additionally, blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, false) calls are modified into
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, hctx->flags & BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING) if the caller
may be invoked from atomic context.

The following caller chains have been reviewed:

blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, false)
  blk_mq_get_tag()      /* may sleep, hence the functions it calls may also sleep */
  blk_execute_rq()             /* may sleep */
  blk_mq_run_hw_queues(q, async=false)
    blk_freeze_queue_start()   /* may sleep */
    blk_mq_requeue_work()      /* may sleep */
    scsi_kick_queue()
      scsi_requeue_run_queue() /* may sleep */
      scsi_run_host_queues()
        scsi_ioctl_reset()     /* may sleep */
  blk_mq_insert_requests(hctx, ctx, list, run_queue_async=false)
    blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list(plug, from_sched=false)
      blk_mq_flush_plug_list(plug, from_schedule=false)
        __blk_flush_plug(plug, from_schedule=false)
	blk_add_rq_to_plug()
	  blk_mq_submit_bio()  /* may sleep if REQ_NOWAIT has not been set */
  blk_mq_plug_issue_direct()
    blk_mq_flush_plug_list()   /* see above */
  blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list(plug, from_sched=false)
    blk_mq_flush_plug_list()   /* see above */
  blk_mq_try_issue_directly()
    blk_mq_submit_bio()        /* may sleep if REQ_NOWAIT has not been set */
  blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(hctx, list)
    blk_mq_insert_requests() /* see above */
