Mike Snitzer 78cbd2c397 dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer
commit 47ace7e012b9f7ad71d43ac9063d335ea3d6820b upstream.

Move blk_queue_make_request() to dm.c:alloc_dev() so that
q->make_request_fn is never NULL during the lifetime of a DM device
(even one that is created without a DM table).

Otherwise generic_make_request() will crash simply by doing:
  dmsetup create -n test
  mount /dev/dm-N /mnt

While at it, move ->congested_data initialization out of
dm.c:alloc_dev() and into the bio-based specific init method.

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.

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.
