blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offline

Most of blk-mq drivers depend on managed IRQ's auto-affinity to setup
up queue mapping. Thomas mentioned the following point[1]:

"That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning:

 The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated
 queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it
 until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again."

However, current blk-mq implementation doesn't quiesce hw queue before
the last CPU in the hctx is shutdown.  Even worse, CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD is a
cpuhp state handled after the CPU is down, so there isn't any chance to
quiesce the hctx before shutting down the CPU.

Add new CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE state to stop allocating from blk-mq hctxs
where the last CPU goes away, and wait for completion of in-flight
requests.  This guarantees that there is no inflight I/O before shutting
down the managed IRQ.

Add a BLK_MQ_F_STACKING and set it for dm-rq and loop, so we don't need
to wait for completion of in-flight requests from these drivers to avoid
a potential dead-lock. It is safe to do this for stacking drivers as those
do not use interrupts at all and their I/O completions are triggered by
underlying devices I/O completion.
