The module parameter 'virtblk_queue_depth' is actually remained untainted.
Actually it is the original code before this patch that changes the
module parameter. When the module parameter is not set by boot cmdline
(i.e., default to 0), it will be initialized to the queue_depth of the
vring of the first probed virtio-blk device, and will be revealed to
user space through '/sys/module/virtio_blk/parameters/queue_depth'. I'm
not sure if this behavior is reasonable or not.
The only side effect of this patch is that, now
'/sys/module/virtio_blk/parameters/queue_depth' will be kept as '0' when
the module parameter is not set manually.
