ublk currently supports the following behaviors on ublk server exit:

A: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os get errors
B: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os queue
C: outstanding I/Os get reissued, subsequently issued I/Os queue

and the following behaviors for recovery of preexisting block devices by
a future incarnation of the ublk server:

1: ublk devices stopped on ublk server exit (no recovery possible)
2: ublk devices are recoverable using start/end_recovery commands

The userspace interface allows selection of combinations of these
behaviors using flags specified at device creation time, namely:

default behavior: A + 1
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY: B + 2
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY|UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_REISSUE: C + 2

The behavior A + 2 is currently unsupported. Add support for this
behavior under the new flag combination
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY|UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO.

Changes since v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240617194451.435445-5-ushankar@purestorage.com/):
- Change flag name from UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_NOQUEUE to
  UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO
- Require UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY to be set along with the new flag for it
  to be effective. This makes more sense, as UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY
  essentially selects behavior 2 above (and not setting
  UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY selects behavior 1).
- Add per-ublk-queue flag which is true iff device state is
  UBLK_S_DEV_FAIL_IO. This lets us avoid fetching the device in the fast
  path.

I'd suggest to change the above into the following:

	if (ublk_nosrv_dev_should_queue_io(ub)) {
	  	ub->dev_info.state = UBLK_S_DEV_LIVE;
		blk_mq_unquiesce_queue(ub->ub_disk->queue);
		pr_devel("%s: queue unquiesced, dev id %d.\n",
				__func__, header->dev_id);
		blk_mq_kick_requeue_list(ub->ub_disk->queue);
	} else {
		blk_mq_quiesce_queue(ub->ub_disk->queue);
	  	ub->dev_info.state = UBLK_S_DEV_LIVE;
		for (i = 0; i < ub->dev_info.nr_hw_queues; i++)
			ublk_get_queue(ub, i)->fail_io = false;
		blk_mq_unquiesce_queue(ub->ub_disk->queue);
	}

- one more quiesce is avoided
- ub->dev_info.state is only updated if request queue is quiesced.

Otherwise, this patch looks fine.
