Chaitanya Kulkarni 150dfb6c83 nvmet: don't use BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT for passthru
By default, we set the passthru request allocation flag such that it
returns the error in the following code path and we fail the I/O when
BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT is used for request allocation :-

nvme_alloc_request()
 blk_mq_alloc_request()
  blk_mq_queue_enter()
   if (flag & BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT)
        return -EBUSY; <-- return if busy.

On some controllers using BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT ends up in I/O error where
the controller is perfectly healthy and not in a degraded state.

Block layer request allocation does allow us to wait instead of
immediately returning the error when we BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flag is not
used. This has shown to fix the I/O error problem reported under
heavy random write workload.

Remove the BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT parameter for passthru request allocation
which resolves this issue.

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.
