I think it's unfortunate that this patch spreads the request state over two
struct request members, namely the lower two bits of gstate and the
RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED flag in req->rq_flags. Please consider to drop the
RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED flag and to represent the "timeout has been processed"
state as a MQ_RQ_* state in gstate. That will avoid that every state update
has to be reviewed whether or not perhaps an update of the
RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED flag is missing.
