md/raid0: Do not bypass blocking queue entered for raid0 bios

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This patch is not on mainline and is meant to 4.19 stable *only*.
After the patch description there's a reasoning about that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Commit cd4a4ae4683d ("block: don't use blocking queue entered for
recursive bio submits") introduced the flag BIO_QUEUE_ENTERED in order
split bios bypass the blocking queue entering routine and use the live
non-blocking version. It was a result of an extensive discussion in
a linux-block thread[0], and the purpose of this change was to prevent
a hung task waiting on a reference to drop.

Happens that md raid0 split bios all the time, and more important,
it changes their underlying device to the raid member. After the change
introduced by this flag's usage, we experience various crashes if a raid0
member is removed during a large write. This happens because the bio
reaches the live queue entering function when the queue of the raid0
member is dying.

A simple reproducer of this behavior is presented below:
a) Build kernel v4.19.56-stable with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

b) Create a raid0 md array with 2 NVMe devices as members, and mount
it with an ext4 filesystem.

c) Run the following oneliner (supposing the raid0 is mounted in /mnt):
(dd of=/mnt/tmp if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=999 &); sleep 0.3;
echo 1 > /sys/block/nvme1n1/device/device/remove
(whereas nvme1n1 is the 2nd array member)

This will trigger the following warning/oops:

This patch changes raid0 driver to fallback to the "old" blocking queue
entering procedure, by clearing the BIO_QUEUE_ENTERED from raid0 bios.
This prevents the crashes and restores the regular behavior of raid0
arrays when a member is removed during a large write.

----------------------------
Why this is not on mainline?
----------------------------

The patch was originally submitted upstream in linux-raid and
linux-block mailing-lists - it was initially accepted by Song Liu,
but Christoph Hellwig[1] observed that there was a clean-up series
ready to be accepted from Ming Lei[2] that fixed the same issue.

The accepted patches from Ming's series in upstream are: commit
47cdee29ef9d ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue") and
commit fe2008640ae3 ("block: don't protect generic_make_request_checks
with blk_queue_enter"). Those patches basically do a clean-up in the
block layer involving:

1) Putting back blk_exit_queue() logic into __blk_release_queue(); that
path was changed in the past and the logic from blk_exit_queue() was
added to blk_cleanup_queue().

2) Removing the guard/protection in generic_make_request_checks() with
blk_queue_enter().

The problem with Ming's series for -stable is that it relies in the
legacy request IO path removal. So it's "backport-able" to v5.0+,
but doing that for early versions (like 4.19) would incur in complex
code changes. Hence, it was suggested by Christoph and Song Liu that
this patch was submitted to stable only; otherwise merging it upstream
would add code to fix a path removed in a subsequent commit.
