When blk-mq I/O scheduler is used, we need two tags for
submitting one request. One is called scheduler tag for
allocating request and scheduling I/O, another one is called
driver tag, which is used for dispatching IO to hardware/driver.
This way introduces one extra per-queue allocation for both tags
and request pool, and may not be as efficient as case of none
scheduler.
Also currently we put a default per-hctx limit on schedulable
requests, and this limit may be a bottleneck for some devices,
especialy when these devices have a quite big tag space.
This patch introduces BLK_MQ_F_SCHED_USE_HW_TAG so that we can
allow to use hardware/driver tags directly for IO scheduling if
devices's hardware tag space is big enough. Then we can avoid
the extra resource allocation and make IO submission more
efficient.
