block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batch
The caller typically has a good (or even exact) idea of how many requests
it needs to submit. We can make the request/tag allocation a lot more
efficient if we just allocate N requests/tags upfront when we queue the
first bio from the batch.
Provide a new plug start helper that allows the caller to specify how many
IOs are expected. This sets plug->nr_ios, and we can use that for smarter
request allocation. The plug provides a holding spot for requests, and
request allocation will check it before calling into the normal request
allocation path.
The blk_finish_plug() is called, check if there are unused requests and
free them. This should not happen in normal operations. The exception is
if we get merging, then we may be left with requests that need freeing
when done.
This raises the per-core performance on my setup from ~5.8M to ~6.1M
IOPS.
