Interestingly the 017 test is only testing blk-mq (using null_blk's
queue_mode=2).  This patchset's changes are specific to bio-based.

If I revert this patchset I still get the failures.

So it would seem something regressed in latest block for-next (I've been
testing up through linux-block commit c754a9bf7ee8 ("blk-mq: remove
QUEUE_FLAG_POLL from default MQ flags").

Same goes for this block/018 test.
