blk-throttle: implement dispatch looping
throtl_select_dispatch() only dispatches throtl_quantum bios on each
invocation. blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in turn depends on
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() scheduling the next dispatch window
immediately so that undue delays aren't incurred. This effectively
chains multiple dispatch work item executions back-to-back when there
are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a given tick.
There is no reason to finish the current work item just to repeat it
immediately. This patch makes throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() return
%false without doing anything if the current dispatch window is still
open and updates blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() repeat dispatching
after cpu_relax() on %false return.
This change will help implementing hierarchy support as dispatching
will be done from pending_timer and immediate reschedule of timer
function isn't supported and doesn't make much sense.
While this patch changes how dispatch behaves when there are more than
throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a single tick, the behavior change
is immaterial.
