Currently blk-mq uses the queue timeout for all requests. But
for some commands, drivers may want to set a specific timeout
for special requests. Allow this to be passed in through
request->timeout, and use it if set.

We want slightly different behavior from them:
- On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug
for deferred IO and for merging.
- On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but
we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO.
Split blk_mq_make_request() into a blk_sq_make_request() for single
queue devices, and retain blk_mq_make_request() for multi queue
devices. Then we don't need multiple checks for q->nr_hw_queues
in the request mapping.

Depending on the topology of the machine and the number of queues
exposed by a device, we can end up in a situation where some of
the hardware queues are unused (as in, they don't map to any
software queues). For this case, free up the memory used by the
request map, as we will not use it. This can be a substantial
amount of memory, depending on the number of queues vs CPUs and
the queue depth of the device.

For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests'
file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly.
Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up.

Each hardware queue has a bitmap of software queues with pending
requests. When new IO is queued on a software queue, the bit is
set, and when IO is pruned on a hardware queue run, the bit is
cleared. This causes a lot of traffic. Switch this from the regular
BITS_PER_LONG bitmap to a sparser layout, similarly to what was
done for blk-mq tagging.
20% performance increase was observed for single threaded IO, and
about 15% performanc increase on multiple threads driving the
same device.

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.
The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
not optimal.
This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
of the space:
1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.
2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.
This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

blk_mq_wait_for_tags() is only able to wait for "normal" tags,
not reserved tags. Pass in which one we should attempt to get
a tag for, so that waiting for reserved tags will work.
Reserved tags are used for internal commands, which are usually
serialized. Hence no waiting generally takes place, but we should
ensure that it actually works if users need that functionality.

The blk-mq code is using it's own version of the I/O completion affinity
tunables, which causes a few issues:
- the rq_affinity sysfs file doesn't work for blk-mq devices, even if it
still is present, thus breaking existing tuning setups.
- the rq_affinity = 1 mode, which is the defauly for legacy request based
drivers isn't implemented at all.
- blk-mq drivers don't implement any completion affinity with the default
flag settings.
This patches removes the blk-mq ipi_redirect flag and sysfs file, as well
as the internal BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_IPI flag and replaces it with code that
respects the queue-wide rq_affinity flags and also implements the
rq_affinity = 1 mode.
This means I/O completion affinity can now only be tuned block-queue wide
instead of per context, which seems more sensible to me anyway.

If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the
situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),
as to maintain proper request state.

This reverts commit 6a3c8a3ac0.
We need selective clearing of the request to make the init-at-free

The patch basically reverts the patch of(blk-mq:

in -next), and only initialize req->q in allocation
for two reasons:
- presumed cache hotness on completion
- blk_rq_tagged(rq) depends on reset of req->mq_ctx

The current blk_mq_init_commands/blk_mq_free_commands interface has a
two problems:
1) Because only the constructor is passed to blk_mq_init_commands there
is no easy way to clean up when a comman initialization failed. The
current code simply leaks the allocations done in the constructor.
2) There is no good place to call blk_mq_free_commands: before
blk_cleanup_queue there is no guarantee that all outstanding
commands have completed, so we can't free them yet. After
blk_cleanup_queue the queue has usually been freed. This can be
worked around by grabbing an unconditional reference before calling
blk_cleanup_queue and dropping it after blk_mq_free_commands is
done, although that's not exatly pretty and driver writers are
guaranteed to get it wrong sooner or later.
Both issues are easily fixed by making the request constructor and
destructor normal blk_mq_ops methods.

When a CPU is unplugged, we move the blk_mq_ctx request entries

Otherwise request could be sitting there until someone else
