Again, these are just some pre-defined values to avoid I/O starvation

need these variables.

I think we already have two mechanisms for guaranteeing I/O fairness:
* Scsi_Host.starved_list for both the legacy SCSI core and scsi-mq.
* For scsi-mq, the active_queues counter in the blk-mq core. See also
  hctx_may_queue().
