Retain the old logic for the fops based submit, but for our internal
blk_mq_submit_bio(), move the queue entering logic into the core
function itself.
We need to be a bit careful if going into the scheduler, as a scheduler
or queue mappings can arbitrarily change before we have entered the queue.
Have the bio scheduler mapping do that separately, it's a very cheap
operation compared to actually doing merging locking and lookups.

Just a prep patch for shifting the queue enter logic. This moves the
expected fast path inline, and leaves __bio_queue_enter() as an
out-of-line function call. We don't want to inline the latter, as it's

Requests that were stored in the cache deliberately didn't hold an enter
reference to the queue, instead we grabbed one every time we pulled a
request out of there. That made for awkward logic on freeing the remainder
of the cached list, if needed, where we had to artificially raise the
queue usage count before each free.
Grab references up front for cached plug requests. That's safer, and also
more efficient.

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.

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.

For fixing use-after-free during iterating over requests, we grabbed
request's refcount before calling ->fn in commit 2e315dc07d ("blk-mq:
grab rq->refcount before calling ->fn in blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter").
Turns out this way may cause kernel panic when iterating over one flush
request:
1) old flush request's tag is just released, and this tag is reused by
one new request, but ->rqs[] isn't updated yet
2) the flush request can be re-used for submitting one new flush command,
so blk_rq_init() is called at the same time
3) meantime blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() is called, and old flush request
is retrieved from ->rqs[tag]; when blk_mq_put_rq_ref() is called,
flush_rq->end_io may not be updated yet, so NULL pointer dereference
is triggered in blk_mq_put_rq_ref().
Fix the issue by calling refcount_set(&flush_rq->ref, 1) after
flush_rq->end_io is set. So far the only other caller of blk_rq_init() is
scsi_ioctl_reset() in which the request doesn't enter block IO stack and
the request reference count isn't used, so the change is safe.

On the IO submission path, blk_account_io_start() may interrupt
the system interruption. When the interruption returns, the value
of part->stamp may have been updated by other cores, so the time
value collected before the interruption may be less than part->
stamp. So when this happens, we should do nothing to make io_ticks
more accurate? For kernels less than 5.0, this may cause io_ticks
to become smaller, which in turn may cause abnormal ioutil values.
