Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

Other than in issue error paths, ps3disk always completely finishes
fetched requests. With full completion on error paths, it can be
easily converted to dequeueing model.
* After L1 r/w call failure, ps3disk_submit_request_sg() now fails the
whole request. Issue failure isn't likely to benefit from partial
retry anyway and ps3disk uses full failure in completion error path
too, so I don't think this amounts to any meaningful functionality
loss.
* flush completion is converted to _all for consistency. It doesn't
make any functional difference.

converted to dequeueing model by updating fetching and completion

Note that removal of elv_next_request() call from pf_next_buf()
doesn't make any functional difference. The path is traveled only
during partial completion of a request and elv_next_request() call
must return the same request anyway.

xsysace already tracks in-flight request using ace->req. Converting

ide generally has single request in flight and tracks it using
hwif->rq and all state handlers follow the following convention.
* ide_started is returned if the request is in flight.
* ide_stopped is returned if the queue needs to be restarted. The
request might or might not have been processed fully or partially.
* hwif->rq is set to NULL, when an issued request completes.
So, dequeueing model can be implemented by dequeueing after fetch,
requeueing if hwif->rq isn't NULL on ide_stopped return and doing
about the same thing on completion / port unlock paths. These changes
can be made in ide-io proper.
In addition to the above main changes, the following updates are
necessary.
* ide-cd shouldn't dequeue a request when issuing REQUEST SENSE for it
as the request is already dequeued.
* ide-atapi uses request queue as stack when issuing REQUEST SENSE to
put the REQUEST SENSE in front of the failed request. This now
needs to be done using requeueing.
