nvmet: don't use BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT for passthru
By default, we set the passthru request allocation flag such that it returns the error in the following code path and we fail the I/O when BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT is used for request allocation :- nvme_alloc_request() blk_mq_alloc_request() blk_mq_queue_enter() if (flag & BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT) return -EBUSY; <-- return if busy. On some controllers using BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT ends up in I/O error where the controller is perfectly healthy and not in a degraded state. Block layer request allocation does allow us to wait instead of immediately returning the error when we BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flag is not used. This has shown to fix the I/O error problem reported under heavy random write workload. Remove the BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT parameter for passthru request allocation which resolves this issue.
