This patch converts the in_flight counter in struct hd_struct from a pair of atomics to a pair of percpu counters. This eliminates a couple of atomics from the hot path. When running this on a Power system, to a single null_blk device with 80 submission queues, irq mode 0, with 80 fio jobs, I saw IOPs go from 1.5M IO/s to 11.4 IO/s.
