block: only call ->request_fn when the queue is not stopped
Callers should use either blk_run_queue/__blk_run_queue, or
blk_start_queueing() to invoke request handling instead of calling
->request_fn() directly as that does not take the queue stopped
flag into account.
Also add appropriate comments on the above functions to detail
their usage.
