sg: fix unkillable I/O wait deadlock with scsi-mq

commit 7568615c upstream.

When using the write()/read() interface for submitting commands, the
SCSI generic driver does not call blk_put_request() on a completed SCSI
command until userspace calls read() to get the command completion.
Since scsi-mq uses a fixed number of preallocated requests, this makes
it possible for userspace to exhaust the entire preallocated supply of
requests.  For places in the kernel that call blk_get_request() with
GFP_KERNEL, this can cause the calling process to deadlock in a
permanent unkillable I/O wait in blk_get_request() -> ... -> bt_get().
For places in the kernel that call blk_get_request() with GFP_ATOMIC,
this can cause blk_get_request() always to return -EWOULDBLOCK.  Note
that these problems happen only if scsi-mq is enabled.  Prevent the
problems by calling blk_put_request() as soon as the SCSI command
completes instead of waiting for userspace to call read().
