[patch/rfc/rft] sd: allocate request_queue on device's local numa node

From: Jeff Moyer

Hi,

All of the infrastructure is available to allocate a request_queue on a
particular numa node, but it isn't being utilized at all. Wire up the
sd driver to allocate the request_queue on the HBA's local numa node.

This is a request for comments and testing (I've built and booted it,
nothing more). I believe that this should be a performance win, but I
have no numbers to back it up as yet. Suggestions for workloads to test
are welcome.

Cheers,
Jeff
