The allocation and freeing of blk-mq parts seems a bit asymmetrical

that tagset may free the tags. I looked to separate the tag allocation
concerns, but that's more time than I have, so this is my quick-fix
driver patch, forcing tag access through the hw_ctx.


I moved nvmeq->hctx->tags into nvmeq->tags in the last version. I missed the free's in blk_mq_map_swqueue. Good catch.

The previous method might have another problem. If there's two namespaces, sharing tag set. The hctx_init fn could be called with different hctx for an nvmeq, leading to false tag sharing between nvme queues.
