bt_wait_ptr() will increase 'wait_index', however, if blk_mq_get_tag() get a tag successfully after bt_wait_ptr() is called and before sbitmap_prepare_to_wait() is called, then the 'ws' is skipped. This behavior might cause 8 waitqueues to be unbalanced. Move bt_wait_ptr() later should reduce the problem when the disk is under high io preesure. In the meantime, instead of calling bt_wait_ptr() during every loop, calling bt_wait_ptr() only if destination hw queue is changed, which should reduce the unfairness further.
