block: only call ->request_fn when the queue is not stopped
Callers should use either blk_run_queue/__blk_run_queue, or blk_start_queueing() to invoke request handling instead of calling ->request_fn() directly as that does not take the queue stopped flag into account. Also add appropriate comments on the above functions to detail their usage. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
