After commit 396eaf21ee ("blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via
blk_insert_cloned_request feedback"), map_request() will requeue the tio
when issued clone request return BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE.
Thus, if device driver status is error, a tio may be requeued multiple
times until the return value is not DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE. That means
type->start_io may be called multiple times, while type->end_io is only
called when IO complete.
In fact, even without commit 396eaf21ee, setup_clone() failure can
also cause tio requeue and associated missed call to type->end_io.
The service-time path selector selects path based on in_flight_size,
which is increased by st_start_io() and decreased by st_end_io().
Missed calls to st_end_io() can lead to in_flight_size count error and
will cause the selector to make the wrong choice. In addition,
queue-length path selector will also be affected.
To fix the problem, call type->end_io in ->release_clone_rq before tio
requeue. map_info is passed to ->release_clone_rq() for map_request()
error path that result in requeue.
