Really?
Just run quick grep on the two drivers, looks both don't use cmnd->tag or
rq->tag.

Then prove where I am wrong.
Just attach a little bcc script, which should have been done by
bpftrace easily, just not found how to pass multiple variable as key.
1) run the attached bcc script in another terminal
2) load null_blk via:
rmmod null_blk;modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 irqmode=2 completion_nsec=1000000 submit_queues=2 hw_queue_depth=4
3) run the following fio:
fio --bs=4k --size=128G --rw=randread --direct=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=16 --runtime=10 --name=fiotest --filename=/dev/nullb0 --numjobs=8
Then ctrl+C on the bcc script, and you will see how many requests with
same tag from different queues are handled concurrently.
BTW, this test is run on dual core VM/Fedora 30, and bcc package is
required.
