Fix broken requeue of io_us

Suresh reports:

-----

Does a requeued io_u work get submitted again through __get_io_u() ? If
so, the io_u item is taken out of requeue list & then the io_u->file is
set to NULL. We don't make a distinction about item being already setup
Vs a new io_u in __get_io_u(). In get_io_u(), when an io_u may come out
of requeue list, we depend on io_u->file to be non NULL to detect the
work as old pending one.

Am I missing something here or is this a bug?

1274         io_u = __get_io_u(td);
1275         if (!io_u) {
1276                 dprint(FD_IO, "__get_io_u failed\n");
1277                 return NULL;
1278         }
1279
1280         if (check_get_verify(td, io_u))
1281                 goto out;
1282         if (check_get_trim(td, io_u))
1283                 goto out;
1284
1285         /*
1286          * from a requeue, io_u already setup
1287          */
1288         if (io_u->file)
1289                 goto out;

1140                 io_u = io_u_qpop(&td->io_u_freelist);
1141
1142         if (io_u) {
1143                 io_u->buflen = 0;
1144                 io_u->resid = 0;
1145                 io_u->file = NULL;
1146                 io_u->end_io = NULL;

We want a retry of a requeue to be identical, not some
new chunk (and drop the latter one on the floor). This got broken with
the introduction of the rings instead of lists, where a single if
section was split into two.
