blk-mq: release scheduler resource when request completes

Chuck reported [1] an IO hang problem on NFS exports that reside on SATA
devices and bisected to commit 615939a ("blk-mq: defer to the normal
submission path for post-flush requests").

We analysed the IO hang problem, found there are two postflush requests
waiting for each other.

The first postflush request completed the REQ_FSEQ_DATA sequence, so go to
the REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH sequence and added in the flush pending list, but
failed to blk_kick_flush() because of the second postflush request which
is inflight waiting in scheduler queue.

The second postflush waiting in scheduler queue can't be dispatched because
the first postflush hasn't released scheduler resource even though it has
completed by itself.

Fix it by releasing scheduler resource when the first postflush request
completed, so the second postflush can be dispatched and completed, then
make blk_kick_flush() succeed.

While at it, remove the check for e->ops.finish_request, as all
schedulers set that. Reaffirm this requirement by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE()
at scheduler registration time, just like we do for insert_requests and
dispatch_request.
