xen-blkfront: fix mq start/stop race
When ring buf full, hw queue will be stopped. While blkif interrupt consume request and make free space in ring buf, hw queue will be started again. But since start queue is protected by spin lock while stop not, that will cause a race. interrupt: process: blkif_interrupt() blkif_queue_rq() kick_pending_request_queues_locked() blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() clear_bit(BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED, &hctx->state) blk_mq_stop_hw_queue(hctx) blk_mq_run_hw_queue(hctx, async) If ring buf is made empty in this case, interrupt will never come, then the hw queue will be stopped forever, all processes waiting for the pending io in the queue will hung.
