7838c15b8d Block: use round_jiffies_up()
This patch (as1159b) changes the timeout routines in the block core to
use round_jiffies_up().  There's no point in rounding the timer
deadline down, since if it expires too early we will have to restart
it.

The patch also removes some unnecessary tests when a request is
removed from the queue's timer list.

7ba1fbaa4a block: use rq complete marking in blk_abort_request()
We cannot abort a request if we raced with the timeout handler already,
or with the IO completion. So make blk_abort_request() mark the request
as complete, and only continue if we succeeded.

Found and suggested by Mike Anderson <andmike@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

581d4e28d9 block: add fault injection mechanism for faking request timeouts
Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to
sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout
handling.

242f9dcb8b block: unify request timeout handling
Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.

Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.
