The code "max(1U, 3 * (1U << shift) / 4)" comes from the Kyber I/O scheduler. The Kyber I/O scheduler maintains one internal queue per hwq and hence derives its async_depth from the number of hwq tags. Using this approach for the mq-deadline scheduler is wrong since the mq-deadline scheduler maintains one internal queue for all hwqs combined. Hence this revert.
