[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 11/11] dm: fastpath of bio-based polling

Offer one fastpath of bio-based polling when bio submitted to dm device
is not split.

In this case, there will be only one bio submitted to only one polling
hw queue of one underlying mq device, and thus we don't need to track
all split bios or iterate through all polling hw queues. The pointer to
the polling hw queue the bio submitted to is returned here as the
returned cookie. In this case, the polling routine will call
mq_ops->poll() directly with the hw queue converted from the input
cookie.

If the original bio submitted to dm device is split to multiple bios and
thus submitted to multiple polling hw queues, the bio submission routine
will return BLK_QC_T_BIO_MULTI, while the polling routine will fall
back to iterating all hw queues (in polling mode) of all underlying mq
devices.
