[ Upstream commit beadf00885 ]
blk_mq_flush_plug_list submits requests in the reverse order that they
were submitted, which leads to a rather suboptimal I/O pattern especially
in rotational devices. Fix this by rewriting nvme_queue_rqs so that it
always pops the requests from the passed in request list, and then adds
them to the head of a local submit list. This actually simplifies the
code a bit as it removes the complicated list splicing, at the cost of
extra updates of the rq_next pointer. As that should be cache hot
anyway it should be an easy price to pay.
