Pankaj Raghav 110fdb4486 block: add rationale for not using blk_mq_plug() when applicable
There are two places in the block layer at the moment where
blk_mq_plug() helper could be used instead of directly accessing the
plug from struct current. In both these cases, directly accessing the plug
should not have any consequences for zoned devices.

Make the intent explicit by adding comments instead of introducing unwanted
checks with blk_mq_plug() helper.[1]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
