[RFC PATCH 1/3] blk-mq: Reference count request usage

[Keith Busch]

This patch adds a struct kref to struct request so that request users
can be sure they're operating on the same request without it changing
while they're processing it. The request's tag won't be released for
reuse until the last user is done with it.
