In __blk_complete_request, we check both QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP and req->cpu
to decide whether we should use req->cpu. Actually the user can also
select the complete cpu by either setting BIO_CPU_AFFINE or by calling
bio_set_completion_cpu. Current solution makes these 2 ways don't work
any more. So we'd better just check req->cpu.

This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1
work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI.
Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is
added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted
patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU
0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and
CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an
ipi if doing it in CPU 7.
An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually
not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently
I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI
cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is
still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE.
Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is
softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

Commit 5757a6d76c introduced a new rq_affinity = 2 so as to make
the request completed in the __make_request cpu. But it makes the
old rq_affinity = 1 not work any more. The root cause is that
if the 'cpu' and 'req->cpu' is in the same group and cpu != req->cpu,
ccpu will be the same as group_cpu, so the completion will be
excuted in the 'cpu' not 'group_cpu'.
This patch fix problem by simpling removing group_cpu and the codes
are more explicit now. If ccpu == cpu, we complete in cpu, otherwise
we raise_blk_irq to ccpu.

Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict
requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that
blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first
CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work,
while the others (including the original submitter) has power left
to spare.
Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control
file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file,
where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on.

Oleg noticed that we don't strictly need CSD_FLAG_WAIT, rework
the code so that we can use CSD_FLAG_LOCK for both purposes.

Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to
sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout
handling.

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.
In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.
This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.
