block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Abusing rq->csd.list for a list of requests to complete is rather ugly.
We use rq->queuelist instead which is much cleaner. It is safe because
queuelist is used by the block layer only for requests waiting to be
submitted to a device. Thus it is unused when irq reports the request IO
is finished.
