When either queue_mode or irq_mode parameter is set outside its

Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.
Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
then they will just queue requests individually like before.

When creation of queues fails in init_driver_queues(), we free the
queues. But null_add_dev() doesn't test for this failure and continues
with the setup leading to strange consequences, likely oops. Fix the
problem by testing whether init_driver_queues() failed and do proper
error cleanup.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

Two of the blk-mq based drivers do not pass back the return value
from blk_mq_alloc_tag_set, instead just returning -ENOMEM.
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set returns -EINVAL if the number of queues or
queue depth is bad. -ENOMEM implies that retrying after freeing some
memory might be more successful, but that won't ever change
in the -EINVAL cases.

The completion queue is implemented using lockless list.
The llist_add is adds the events to the list head which is a push operation.
The processing of the completion elements is done by disconnecting all the
pushed elements and iterating over the disconnected list. The problem is
that the processing is done in reverse order w.r.t order of the insertion
i.e. LIFO processing. By reversing the disconnected list which is done in
linear time the desired FIFO processing is achieved.

blk_mq_free_queue() will be called in queue kobject's release handler
when queue kobject's reference counter drops to zero.
