There's no sense waiting for the hw queue when it currently has been locked by another polling instance. The polling instance currently occupying the hw queue will help reap the completion events. It shall be safe to surrender the hw queue, as long as we could reapply for polling later. For Synchronous polling, blk_poll() will reapply for polling, since @spin is always True in this case. While For asynchronous polling, i.e. io_uring itself will reapply for polling when the previous polling returns 0. Besides, it shall do no harm to the polling performance of mq devices.
