Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.

Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
then they will just queue requests individually like before.

Pull block layer driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18.  Not a lot in there
  this round, and nothing earth shattering.

   - A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in
     asender performance.

   - Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and
     hd from Michael Opdenacker.

   - Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike
     Snitzer.

   - A small collection of xen blkfront/back fixes from Roger Pau Monné
     and Vitaly Kuznetsov"

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

Now that we've changed the driver API on the submission side use the
opportunity to fix up the name on the completion side to fit into the
general scheme.

When we call blk_mq_start_request from the core blk-mq code before calling into
->queue_rq there is a racy window where the timeout handler can hit before we've
fully set up the driver specific part of the command.

Move the call to blk_mq_start_request into the driver so the driver can start
the request only once it is fully set up.

Pass an explicit parameter for the last request in a batch to ->queue_rq
instead of using a request flag.  Besides being a cleaner and non-stateful
interface this is also required for the next patch, which fixes the blk-mq
I/O submission code to not start a time too early.

Two of the blk-mq based drivers do not pass back the return value
from blk_mq_alloc_tag_set, instead just returning -ENOMEM.

blk_mq_alloc_tag_set returns -EINVAL if the number of queues or
queue depth is bad.  -ENOMEM implies that retrying after freeing some
memory might be more successful, but that won't ever change
in the -EINVAL cases.

Change the null_blk and mtip32xx drivers to pass along
the return value.

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to
meet kernel coding style guidelines.  This issue was reported by checkpatch.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>

identifier i;
declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE;
initializer z;

- DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i)

This patch adds the following:

1) Compiler hinting in the fast path.
2) A prefetch of port->flags to eliminate moderate cpu stalling later
in mtip_hw_submit_io().
3) Eliminate a redundant rq_data_dir().
4) Reorder members of driver_data to eliminate false cacheline sharing
between irq_workers_active and unal_qdepth.

With some workload and topology configurations, I'm seeing ~1.5%
throughput improvement in small block random read benchmarks as well
as improved latency std. dev.

We currently pass in the hardware queue, and get the tags from there.
But from scsi-mq, with a shared tag space, it's a lot more convenient
to pass in the blk_mq_tags instead as the hardware queue isn't always
directly available. So instead of having to re-map to a given
hardware queue from rq->mq_ctx, just pass in the tags structure.
