Not sure everything goes fine here. After applying this series on top of the
latest stable 5.12 kernel I got this:

Yes, I carry some extra patches besides this series (the list is against v5.12
GA):
```
block, bfq: reset waker pointer with shared queues
block, bfq: check waker only for queues with no in-flight I/O
block, bfq: avoid delayed merge of async queues
block, bfq: boost throughput by extending queue-merging times
block, bfq: consider also creation time in delayed stable merge
block, bfq: fix delayed stable merge check
block, bfq: let also stably merged queues enjoy weight raising
block: Do not pull requests from the scheduler when we cannot dispatch them
blk: Fix lock inversion between ioc lock and bfqd lock
bfq: Remove merged request already in bfq_requests_merged()
block, bfq: avoid circular stable merges
bfq: remove unnecessary BFQ_DEFAULT_GRP_IOPRIO
bfq: reset entity->prio_changed in bfq_init_entity()
bfq: optimize the calculation of bfq_weight_to_ioprio()
bfq: remove unnecessary initialization logic
bfq: keep the minimun bandwidth for CLASS_BE
bfq: limit the IO depth of CLASS_IDLE to 1
bfq: convert the type of bfq_group.bfqd to bfq_data*
bfq: introduce bfq_entity_to_bfqg helper method
bfq/mq-deadline: remove redundant check for passthrough request
blk-mq: bypass IO scheduler's limit_depth for passthrough request
block,bfq: fix the timeout calculation in bfq_bfqq_charge_time
block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created queues
block, bfq: keep shared queues out of the waker mechanism
block, bfq: fix weight-raising resume with !low_latency
block, bfq: make shared queues inherit wakers
block, bfq: put reqs of waker and woken in dispatch list
block, bfq: always inject I/O of queues blocked by wakers
```
but nothing from there triggered this for quite some time.
Paolo, what do you think?
