The only time the driver sleeps expecting to be woken upon the arrival of a new request, is when the dispatch queue is empty. The only time that it is known whether the dispatch queue is empty is after NULL is returned from blk_fetch_request() while under the queue lock. Recognizing those facts, simplify the synchronization between the queue thread and the request function. A couple of flags tell the request function what to do, and the queue lock and barriers associated with wake-ups ensure synchronization. The result is simpler and allows the removal of the context_info lock.
