Measurements have shown that limiting the queue depth to one per zone for zoned writes has a significant negative performance impact on zoned UFS devices. Hence this patch that disables zone locking by the mq-deadline scheduler if the storage controller preserves the command order. This patch is based on the following assumptions: - It happens infrequently that zoned write requests are reordered by the block layer. - The I/O priority of all write requests is the same per zone. - Either no I/O scheduler is used or an I/O scheduler is used that serializes write requests per zone.
