blk_mq_exit_sched_shared_sbitmap() has been called in blk_mq_exit_sched() already.

IMO, this function should be named as blk_mq_init_shared_tags
and moved to blk-mq-sched.c

The two sbitmap queues can be embedded into 'request queue', so that
we can avoid to re-allocation in every elevator switch.

I will ask Yanhui to test the patch and see if it can make a difference.
