Yes, thanks for your directive.

On the other hand, this patch is to align the actions between blk-mq and block legacy code in __scsi_queue_insert.
As we know, __scsi_queue_insert is just to requeue the request back to queue, as the block legacy code segment above:
for block legacy, it just blk_requeue_request for the request and kick the queue run.
However, for the blk-mq, scsi_mq_requeue_cmd will be invoked, it not only requeue the request, but also unprep request.
This is not what __scsi_queue_insert should do, but scsi_io_completion.
When the request is not finished completely, and scsi_io_completion finds it need a ACTION_REPREP, at the moment,
we need requeue and unprep there.

If I missed something, please feel free to point out. :)

Thanks
Jianchao
