Offer one sub-fastpath for bio-based polling when bio submitted to dm
device gets split and enqueued into multiple hw queues, while the IO
submission process has not been migrated to another CPU.
In this case, the IO submission routine will return the CPU number on
which the IO submission happened as the returned cookie, while the
polling routine will only iterate and poll on hw queues that this CPU
number maps, instead of iterating *all* hw queues.
This optimization can dramatically reduce cache ping-pong and thus
improve the polling performance, when multiple hw queues in polling mode
per device could be reserved when there are multiple polling processes.
It will fall back to iterating all hw queues in polling mode, once the
process has ever been migrated to another CPU during the IO submission
phase.
