Ming Lei 9d497e2941 block: don't protect submit_bio_checks by q_usage_counter
Commit cc9c884dd7 ("block: call submit_bio_checks under q_usage_counter")
uses q_usage_counter to protect submit_bio_checks for avoiding IO after
disk is deleted by del_gendisk().

Turns out the protection isn't necessary, because once
blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() in del_gendisk() returns:

1) all in-flight IO has been done

2) all new IO will be failed in __bio_queue_enter() because
   q_usage_counter is dead, and GD_DEAD is set

3) both disk and request queue instance are safe since caller of
submit_bio() guarantees that the disk can't be closed.

Once submit_bio_checks() needn't the protection of q_usage_counter, we can
move submit_bio_checks before calling blk_mq_submit_bio() and
->submit_bio(). With this change, we needn't to throttle queue with
holding one allocated request, then precise driver tag or request won't be
wasted in throttling. Meantime we can unify the bio check for both bio
based and request based driver.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
