block: Allow wait_serialising_requests() at any point

We can only have a single wait_serialising_requests() call per request
because otherwise we can run into deadlocks where requests are waiting
for each other. The same is true when wait_serialising_requests() is not
at the very beginning of a request, so that other requests can be issued
between the start of the tracking and wait_serialising_requests().

Fix this by changing wait_serialising_requests() to ignore requests that
are already (directly or indirectly) waiting for the calling request.
