From: Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7f2a6a69f7ced6db8220298e0497cf60482a9d4b ] Limiting number of request to BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT at blk_plug hurts performance for large md arrays. [1] shows resync speed of md array drops for md array with more than 16 HDDs. Fix this by allowing more request at plug queue. The multiple_queue flag is used to only apply higher limit to multiple queue cases.
