From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a12de1d42d74ef3c80e9fb9a2da94daaef747869 ] If a device is using multiple queues, the IO scheduler may be bypassed. This may hurt performance for some slow MQ devices, and it also breaks zoned devices which depend on mq-deadline for respecting the write order in one zone. Don't bypass io scheduler if we have one setup. This patch can double sequential write performance basically on MQ scsi_debug when mq-deadline is applied.
