blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations
have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding
requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()).
The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows:
* Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around
  .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not
  block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block.
* blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
  followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter
  call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called.
* The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not
  .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock
  held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue().
