Now that the normal passthrough end_io path doesn't need the request anymore, we can kill the explicit blk_mq_free_request() and just pass back RQ_END_IO_FREE instead. This enables the batched completion from freeing batches of requests at the time. This brings passthrough IO performance at least on par with bdev based O_DIRECT with io_uring. With this and batche allocations, peak performance goes from 110M IOPS to 122M IOPS. For IRQ based, passthrough is now also about 10% faster than previously, going from ~61M to ~67M IOPS.
