From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
- Drop the patch that fixes a potential race in request timeout
from this series.
- Rebased on the newest block/for-next branch.

The current queue_rqs() support has limitation that it can't work on
shared tags queue, which is resolved by patch 1-3. We move the account
of active requests to where we really allocate the driver tag.

This is clearer and matched with the unaccount side which now happen
when we put the driver tag. And we can remove RQF_MQ_INFLIGHT, which
was used to avoid double account problem of flush request.

Another problem is that the driver that support queue_rqs() has to
set inflight request table by itself, which is resolved in patch 4.

The last patch add queue_rqs() support for null_blk, which showed
3.6% IOPS improvement in fio/t/io_uring benchmark on my test VM.
And we also use it for testing queue_rqs() on shared tags queue.

Thanks for review!
