The MQ_RQ_IDLE looks confused here. It is not freed , but idled.
And when the requeued request is started again, the generation number will be increased.
But it is not a recycle instance of the request. Maybe another state needed here ?

The BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER case has not been covered here. In that case, the timer will be re-armed,
but the gstate and aborted_gstate are not updated and still equal with echo other. 
Consequently, when the request is completed later, the __blk_mq_complete_request() will be missed,
then the request will expire again. The aborted_gstate should be updated in the BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER case.
