block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is dead
Currently get_request[_wait]() allocates request whether queue is dead or not. This patch makes get_request[_wait]() return NULL if @q is dead. blk_queue_bio() is updated to fail the submitted bio if request allocation fails. While at it, add docbook comments for get_request[_wait](). Note that the current code has rather unclear (there are spurious DEAD tests scattered around) assumption that the owner of a queue guarantees that no request travels block layer if the queue is dead and this patch in itself doesn't change much; however, this will allow fixing the broken assumption in the next patch.
