ublk: don't quiesce in ublk_ch_release
ublk_ch_release currently quiesces the device's request_queue while
setting force_abort/fail_io. This avoids data races by preventing
concurrent reads from the I/O path, but is not strictly needed - at this
point, canceling is already set and guaranteed to be observed by any
concurrently executing I/Os, so they will be handled properly even if
the changes to force_abort/fail_io propagate to the I/O path later.
Remove the quiesce/unquiesce calls from ublk_ch_release. This makes the
writes to force_abort/fail_io concurrent with the reads in the I/O path,
so make the accesses atomic.
Before this change, the call to blk_mq_quiesce_queue was responsible for
most (90%) of the runtime of ublk_ch_release. With that call eliminated,
ublk_ch_release runs much faster. Here is a comparison of the total time
spent in calls to ublk_ch_release when a server handling 128 devices
exits, before and after this change:
before: 1.11s
after: 0.09s
