[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/7] blk_end_request: add new request completion interface

This patch adds 2 new interfaces for request completion:
  o blk_end_request()   : called without queue lock
  o __blk_end_request() : called with queue lock held

Some device drivers call some generic functions below between
end_that_request_{first/chunk} and end_that_request_last().
  o add_disk_randomness()
  o blk_queue_end_tag()
  o blkdev_dequeue_request()
These are called in the blk_end_request() as a part of generic
request completion.
So all device drivers become to call above functions.
