For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init

On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting

Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that
That would be struct request_queue..
Good catch, will fix.

Do we really need this wrapper?
Not necessarily, just seems like a nicer API than manually setting the
field. Not a big deal to me, though.

Can we kill the scsi_device queue_depth member and just always use
the request_queue one?
Yes. I'd prefer that we do that through the SCSI tree, once this is in
though.
