So this is what I ended up doing as well, and does address the specific
bug with queue_depth=1.

I was actually setting this within scsi_mq_alloc_queue(), but given that
the queue_depth=1 issue is independent of scsi-mq, this does make more
sense.
Also, these extra increments should probably happen only when the passed
queue_depth == 1 && reserved_tags == 0.
Other than that minor nit.
