Of course, I tried the kernel.org sources now, sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.18.3 
on Gentoo. The issue is the same.

I wonder that nobody has noticed that issue that I can reproduce on many kernels
since 4.13 or even older. Is it a rare combination with my bcache, luks or
btrfs? Or hardware specific? Or scheduler specific, as even BFQ is not that well
tested on btrfs like the default one.

I noticed that. It's just a bit intransparent from the menuconfig, options don't
mention if a scheduler is working on MQ or not, like CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ.
There it's written in the description, while CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_KYBER has the
note in the name.
Actually MQ schedulers could depend on BLK_MQ to make it obvious.

Best regards,
Massimo
