Suwan Kim 0e9911fa76 virtio-blk: support mq_ops->queue_rqs()

This patch supports mq_ops->queue_rqs() hook. It has an advantage of
batch submission to virtio-blk driver. It also helps polling I/O because
polling uses batched completion of block layer. Batch submission in
queue_rqs() can boost polling performance.

In queue_rqs(), it iterates plug->mq_list, collects requests that
belong to same HW queue until it encounters a request from other
HW queue or sees the end of the list.
Then, virtio-blk adds requests into virtqueue and kicks virtqueue
to submit requests.

If there is an error, it inserts error request to requeue_list and
passes it to ordinary block layer path.

For verification, I did fio test.
(io_uring, randread, direct=1, bs=4K, iodepth=64 numjobs=N)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 virtio-blk queues for VM and run fio test 5 times.
It shows about 2% improvement.

                                 |   numjobs=2   |   numjobs=4
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio without queue_rqs()  |   291K IOPS   |   238K IOPS
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio with queue_rqs()     |   295K IOPS   |   243K IOPS

For polling I/O performance, I also did fio test as below.
(io_uring, hipri, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=4)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 poll queues for VM.
It shows about 2% improvement in polling I/O.

                                      |   IOPS   |  avg latency
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio poll without queue_rqs()  |   424K   |   613.05 usec
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio poll with queue_rqs()     |   435K   |   601.01 usec
