drbd: fix potential deadlock during "restart" of conflicting writes
w_restart_write(), run from worker context, calls __drbd_make_request()
and further drbd_al_begin_io(, delegate=true), which then
potentially deadlocks. The previous patch moved a BUG_ON to expose
such call paths, which would now be triggered.
Also, if we call __drbd_make_request() from resource worker context,
like w_restart_write() did, and that should block for whatever reason
(!drbd_state_is_stable(), resource suspended, ...),
we potentially deadlock the whole resource, as the worker
is needed for state changes and other things.
Create a dedicated retry workqueue for this instead.
Also make sure that inc_ap_bio()/dec_ap_bio() are properly paired,
even if do_retry() needs to retry itself,
in case __drbd_make_request() returns != 0.
