[PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_request
cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and
depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be
finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So,
__elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn
callback.
This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may
result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn
callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer
actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.
