This patch looks good to me, however I'd update the commit log and add
performance numbers for the non-mq case also, just in-case to show that we
are not breaking non-mq setup.

Being said that, in case we want to be future proof, we can also think of
adding a module param so if someone comes with a scenario where NO_SCHED is
not providing the performance then they can just use the module parameter
instead of again editing the code, irrespective of that :-
