block: do not reverse request order when flushing plug list
Commit 26fed4ac4eab ("block: flush plug based on hardware and software
queue order") changed flushing of plug list to submit requests one
device at a time. However while doing that it also started using
list_add_tail() instead of list_add() used previously thus effectively
submitting requests in reverse order. Also when forming a rq_list with
remaining requests (in case two or more devices are used), we
effectively reverse the ordering of the plug list for each device we
process. Submitting requests in reverse order has negative impact on
performance for rotational disks (when BFQ is not in use). We observe
10-25% regression in random 4k write throughput, as well as ~20%
regression in MariaDB OLTP benchmark on rotational storage on btrfs
filesystem.
Fix the problem by preserving ordering of the plug list when inserting
requests into the queuelist as well as by appending to requeue_list
instead of prepending to it.
