Kashyap reports high CPU usage in blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() and callees using megaraid SAS RAID card since moving to shared tags [0]. Previously, when shared tags was shared sbitmap, this function was less than optimum since we would iter through all tags for all hctx's, yet only ever match upto tagset depth number of rqs. Since the change to shared tags, things are even less efficient if we have parallel callers of blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter(). This is because in bt_iter() -> blk_mq_find_and_get_req() there would be more contention on accessing each request ref and tags->lock since they are now shared among all HW queues. Optimise by having separate calls to bt_for_each() for when we're using shared tags. In this case no longer pass a hctx, as it is no longer relevant, and teach bt_iter() about this. Ming suggested something along the lines of this change, apart from a different implementation.

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.
