block: uninitialized ioc->nr_tasks triggers WARN_ON

Hi,

I'm using the old-fashioned 'dump' backup tool, and I noticed that it spews the
below warning as of 3.5-rc1 and later (3.4 is fine):

[   10.886893] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic
config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed). To hit it,
just install dump (on debian/ubuntu, not sure what the package might be
called on Fedora), and:

dump -o -f /tmp/foo /

You'll see the warning in dmesg once it forks off the I/O process and
starts dumping filesystem contents.

I bisected it down to the following commit:

commit f6e8d01bee
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

    block: add io_context->active_ref

    Currently ioc->nr_tasks is used to decide two things - whether an ioc
    is done issuing IOs and whether it's shared by multiple tasks.  This
    patch separate out the first into ioc->active_ref, which is acquired
    and released using {get|put}_io_context_active() respectively.

    This will be used to associate bio's with a given task.  This patch
    doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.

It seems like the init of ioc->nr_tasks was removed in that patch,
so it starts out at 0 instead of 1.

Tejun, is the right thing here to add back the init, or should something else
be done?

The below patch removes the warning, but I haven't done any more extensive
testing on it.
