Only attempt to merge bio iff the ctx->rq_list isn't empty, because: 1) for high-performance SSD, most of times dispatch may succeed, then there may be nothing left in ctx->rq_list, so don't try to merge over sw queue if it is empty, then we can save one acquiring of ctx->lock 2) we can't expect good merge performance on per-cpu sw queue, and missing one merge on sw queue won't be a big deal since tasks can be scheduled from one CPU to another.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
