The nr_active counter continues to increase over time which causes the
blk_mq_get_tag to hang until the thread is rescheduled to a different
core despite there are still tags available.

This issue arises when both bt_iter() and blk_mq_end_request_batch()
are iterating on the same request. The leak happens when
blk_mq_find_and_get_req() is executed(from bt_iter) before
req_ref_put_and_test() gets called by blk_mq_end_request_batch().
And because non-flush request freed by blk_mq_put_rq_ref() bypasses the
active request tracking, the counter would slowly leak overtime.

Fixes: f794f3351f26 ("block: add support for blk_mq_end_request_batch()")
Fixes: 2e315dc07df0 ("blk-mq: grab rq->refcount before calling ->fn in blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter")
