Yanhui found that write performance is degraded a lot after applying hctx shared tagset on one test machine with megaraid_sas. And turns out it is caused by none scheduler which becomes default elevator caused by hctx shared tagset patchset. Given more scsi HBAs will apply hctx shared tagset, and the similar performance exists for them too. So keep previous behavior by still using default mq-deadline for queues which apply hctx shared tagset, just like before.
