This is another stab at solving the problem of hostwide shared tags for SCSI HBAs. As discussed previously, Ming Lei's most recent series in [0] to use hctx[0] tags for all hctx for a host was a bit messy and intrusive, so seen as a no go. Indeed, blk-mq is designed for separate tags per hctx. Bart also followed up on my v1 RFC with another implementation along those same lines, which was neater, but I am concerned that the change in this approach may cause issues - see [1]. This series introduces a different approach to solve that problem, in keeping the per-hctx tags but introducing a new separate sbitmap per tagset. The shared sbitmap is used to generate a unique tag over all hctx per tagset. Currently I just fixed up the hisi_sas driver to use the shared tags, but should not be much trouble to change others over. Patch #3 is still quite experimental at this point - I added some code comments on this. I also threw in a minor tidy-up patch.
