block: fix null pointer dereference in blk_mq_rq_timed_out()
We got a null pointer deference BUG_ON in blk_mq_rq_timed_out()

The bug is caused by the race between timeout handle and completion for
flush request.
When timeout handle function blk_mq_rq_timed_out() try to read
'req->q->mq_ops', the 'req' have completed and reinitiated by next
flush request, which would call blk_rq_init() to clear 'req' as 0.
After commit 12f5b93145 ("blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce"),
normal requests lifetime are protected by refcount. Until 'rq->ref'
drop to zero, the request can really be free. Thus, these requests
cannot been reused before timeout handle finish.
However, flush request has defined .end_io and rq->end_io() is still
called even if 'rq->ref' doesn't drop to zero. After that, the 'flush_rq'
can be reused by the next flush request handle, resulting in null
pointer deference BUG ON.
We fix this problem by covering flush request with 'rq->ref'.
If the refcount is not zero, flush_end_io() return and wait the
last holder recall it. To record the request status, we add a new
entry 'rq_status', which will be used in flush_end_io().

-------
v2:
- move rq_status from struct request to struct blk_flush_queue
v3:
- remove unnecessary '{}' pair.
v4:
- let spinlock to protect 'fq->rq_status'
v5:
- move rq_status after flush_running_idx member of struct blk_flush_queue
