Sorry to keep iterating on this, but let's default to inserting to
the dispatch list if we ever see busy from a direct dispatch. I'm fine
with doing that for 4.21, as suggested by Ming, I just didn't want to
fiddle with it for 4.20. This will prevent any merging on the request
going forward, which I think is a much safer default.

You do this already for some cases. Let's do it unconditionally for
a request that was ever subjected to ->queue_rq() and we didn't either
error or finish after the fact.
