This cannot work since multiple threads can call scsi_mq_get_budget()
concurrently and hence it can happen that none of them sees
atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy) == 0. BTW, the above patch is something I
consider as a workaround. Have you considered to fix the root cause and to
add blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() where these are missing, e.g. in
blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests()? The patch below is not a full solution
but resulted in a significant improvement in my tests:

diff --git a/block/blk-mq-sched.c b/block/blk-mq-sched.c

+ blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx(hctx);
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx(hctx);
} else {
blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs(hctx, &rq_list);
Bart.
