Shin'ichiro Kawasaki 572299f03a block: limit request dispatch loop duration
When IO requests are made continuously and the target block device
handles requests faster than request arrival, the request dispatch loop
keeps on repeating to dispatch the arriving requests very long time,
more than a minute. Since the loop runs as a workqueue worker task, the
very long loop duration triggers workqueue watchdog timeout and BUG [1].

To avoid the very long loop duration, break the loop periodically. When
opportunity to dispatch requests still exists, check need_resched(). If
need_resched() returns true, the dispatch loop already consumed its time
slice, then reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop. With heavy
IO load, need_resched() does not return true for 20~30 seconds. To cover
such case, check time spent in the dispatch loop with jiffies. If more
than 1 second is spent, reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop.
