My issue is without shared tags. Below patch is certainly a fix for shared
tags (for 5.16-rc).
I have seen scsi eh deadlock issue on 5.15 kernel which does not have
shared tags (but it has shared bitmap.)

Since I am not talking about shared tags, you can remap same condition
now.
In 5.15 kernel (shared bitmap is enabled but not shared tags) -
blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter is called for each tags[] of nr_hw_queues times.
It will call  bt_tags_for_each()  for hctx0.tags->[], hctx1.tags->[] ..
Since tags->bitmap_tags is shared when it traverse hctx0.tags->[], it can
find hctx0.tags[10].rq which is really stale entry.
If the same request which is stale @ hctx0.tags[10] is really outstanding
at some other tag#, stale entry will be counted in host_busy.

I mean, shared bitmap in my whole discussion. Megaraid_sas driver use
shared bitmap, so it is exposed and It is confirmed from this discussion.
Do we still have exposure (if "blk-mq: avoid to iterate over stale
request" is not part of kernel)  to mpi3mr type driver which does not use
shared bitmap but has nr_hw_queues > 1. ?
