    fq - fix a (possible) deadlock
    
     * A deadlock can occur if a lock is held around the strategy call when
       the completion is synchronous and ends up in the destruction of a
       tdio, as both will acquire the same diskctx lock.
    
     * Refactor the code around strategy calls so that the bios are first
       prepared, under the protection of the lock, and inserted into a local
       array. Once that is ready and the bios are ready and taken out of
       their respective queues, the locks are dropped and the strategy call
       occurs locklessly.
