blk-mq: reinsert cached request to the list

A previous commit removed an optimization out of caution for a scenario
that turns out not to be real: all the "queue_exit" goto's are safe to
reinsert the request into the cached_rq's plug list as they are either
from a non-blocking path, or a successful merge that already holds the
queue reference. This optimization is most needed for small sequential
workloads that successfully merge into larger requests.
