For virtio-scsi, we can do that because only single vq is running at
the same time for previous multi-vq support.

It depends on how long the transition period is, and other drivers
with multi hwq support might be in the same situation with virtio-scsi. If
the period is a bit long, it would be painful for these drivers to support
both blk-mq and non-mq.

Also with force_blk_mq on virtio-scsi, people can test scsi-mq with
default setting, then it should be helpful to collect more test reports, :-)

But I don't have strong desire for force_blk_mq if you think it isn't good.
