Thinking of the issue further, this patch only covers case of
scsi_set_blocked(), but don't consider the case in which .get_budget()
is called inside blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() for request coming from
hctx->dispatch_list.

If .get_budget() is called in both blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx(), we don't need to run queue if the queue
is idle. But if it is called from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() for request
coming from hctx->dispatch_list, we have to run queue if queue is
idle, as before.

So please ignore this patch, and will submit V2 for cover both cases.

Thanks,
Ming
