Damien Le Moal f3bc78d2d4 mq-deadline: Make sure to always unlock zones
In case of a failed write request (all retries failed) and when using
libata, the SCSI error handler calls scsi_finish_command(). In the
case of blk-mq this means that scsi_mq_done() does not get called,
that blk_mq_complete_request() does not get called and also that the
mq-deadline .completed_request() method is not called. This results in
the target zone of the failed write request being left in a locked
state, preventing that any new write requests are issued to the same
zone.

Fix this by replacing the .completed_request() method with the
.finish_request() method as this method is always called whether or
not a request completes successfully. Since the .finish_request()
method is only called by the blk-mq core if a .prepare_request()
method exists, add a dummy .prepare_request() method.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
