3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 683d0e126232d898a481daa3a4ca032c2b1a9660 upstream.
This patch should fix the bug reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249.
We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when allocating storage for the requests.
Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized pointers when racing with the creation of a request.
Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point where a request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush request indicators that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers in blk_mq_timeout_check().
