These were added as part of early days debugging for blk-mq, and they
are not really useful anymore. Rather than spend cycles updating them,
just get rid of them.
As a bonus, this shrinks the per-cpu software queue size from 256b
to 192b. That's a whole cacheline less.

Add an rq private RQF_ELV flag, which tells the block layer that this
request was initialized on a queue that has an IO scheduler attached.
This allows for faster checking in the fast path, rather than having to
deference rq->q later on.
Elevator switching does full quiesce of the queue before detaching an
IO scheduler, so it's safe to cache this in the request itself.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.
Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:
- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

Currently we scan the entire plug list, which is potentially very
expensive. In an IOPS bound workload, we can drive about 5.6M IOPS with
merging enabled, and profiling shows that the plug merge check is the
(by far) most expensive thing we're doing:
Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
+ 20.89% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_attempt_plug_merge
+ 4.98% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] io_submit_sqes
+ 4.78% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO
+ 4.61% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_mq_submit_bio
Instead of browsing the whole list, just check the previously inserted
entry. That is enough for a naive merge check and will catch most cases,
and for devices that need full merging, the IO scheduler attached to
such devices will do that anyway. The plug merge is meant to be an
inexpensive check to avoid getting a request, but if we repeatedly
scan the list for every single insert, it is very much not a cheap
check.
With this patch, the workload instead runs at ~7.0M IOPS, providing
a 25% improvement. Disabling merging entirely yields another 5%
improvement.

The caller typically has a good (or even exact) idea of how many requests
it needs to submit. We can make the request/tag allocation a lot more
efficient if we just allocate N requests/tags upfront when we queue the
first bio from the batch.
Provide a new plug start helper that allows the caller to specify how many
IOs are expected. This sets plug->nr_ios, and we can use that for smarter
request allocation. The plug provides a holding spot for requests, and
request allocation will check it before calling into the normal request
allocation path.
The blk_finish_plug() is called, check if there are unused requests and
free them. This should not happen in normal operations. The exception is
if we get merging, then we may be left with requests that need freeing
when done.
This raises the per-core performance on my setup from ~5.8M to ~6.1M
IOPS.
