Subject: blk-mq: Avoid that __bt_get_word() wraps multiple times

commit 9e98e9d7cf6e9d2ec1cce45e8d5ccaf3f9b386f3 upstream.

If __bt_get_word() is called with last_tag != 0, if the first
find_next_zero_bit() fails, if after wrap-around the
test_and_set_bit() call fails and find_next_zero_bit() succeeds,
if the next test_and_set_bit() call fails and subsequently
find_next_zero_bit() does not find a zero bit, then another
wrap-around will occur. Avoid this by introducing an additional
local variable.
