[ Upstream commit 03f26d8f11403295de445b6e4e0e57ac57755791 ]
In case of shared sbitmap, request won't be held in plug list any more
sine commit 32bc15afed04 ("blk-mq: Facilitate a shared sbitmap per
tagset"), this way makes request merge from flush plug list & batching
submission not possible, so cause performance regression.
Yanhui reports performance regression when running sequential IO
test(libaio, 16 jobs, 8 depth for each job) in VM, and the VM disk
is emulated with image stored on xfs/megaraid_sas.
Fix the issue by recovering original behavior to allow to hold request
in plug list.

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.
