When there are no read queues read requests will be assigned a
default queue on allocation. However, blk_mq_get_cached_request() is not
prepared for that and will fail all attempts to grab read requests from
the cache. Worst case it doubles the number of requests allocated,
roughly half of which will be returned by blk_mq_free_plug_rqs().
It only affects batched allocations and so is io_uring specific.
For reference, QD8 t/io_uring benchmark improves by 20-35%.

It might be a good idea to always use HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT, so the cache
always can accomodate combined write with read reqs.
