This patch orders getting budget and driver tag by making sure to acquire
driver tag after budget is got, this way can help to avoid the following
race:
1) before dispatch request from scheduler queue, get one budget first, then
dequeue a request, call it request A.
2) in another IO path for dispatching request B which is from hctx->dispatch,
driver tag is got, then try to get budget in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(),
unfortunately the budget is held by request A.
3) meantime blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() is called for dispatching request
A, and try to get driver tag first, unfortunately no driver tag is
available because the driver tag is held by request B
4) both two IO pathes can't move on, and IO stall is caused.
This issue can be observed when running dbench on USB storage.
This patch fixes this issue by always getting budget before getting
driver tag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
