blk-mq: fix hang in bt_get()
Avoid that if there are fewer hardware queues than CPU threads that bt_get() can hang. The symptoms of the hang were as follows: * All tags allocated for a particular hardware queue. * (nr_tags) pending commands for that hardware queue. * No pending commands for the software queues associated with that hardware queue.
