Tejun Heo 53a08807c0 block: internal dequeue shouldn't start timer
blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer.  Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it.  If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.

Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO.  This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().
