[RFC PATCH v1 01/17] nvme-multipath: retarget failedover bios from requeue work

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai at fygo.io>
bio_set_dev() is about to become explicitly sleepable because it can
associate the bio with a blkg for the destination queue. NVMe failover
can run from request completion context, and nvme_failover_req() also holds
head->requeue_lock with interrupts disabled while it steals bios from the
failed request. Calling bio_set_dev() there is not safe once the helper is
allowed to sleep.
The requeue lock only protects head->requeue_list. Keep the list
manipulation under that lock, but defer retargeting to nvme_requeue_work(),
which already drains the list from process context before resubmitting each
bio. The bios remain private to the requeue list until the worker pops
them, so moving the device switch there preserves the existing retry flow
while avoiding a sleepable helper in completion context.
