Strictly speaking, it isn't a must to add poll context which is just
more efficient for polling locally after taking bio grouping list in V2.

OK.

Actually I meant that poll context in which blk_poll(cookie) is called
and 'cookie' is the exact return value of submit_bio(bio based bio) and
this blk-mq bio is for complete the bio driver's bio, and share same
pool context with the bio driver's bio.

The double underscore helpers are base helpers to build helper without
double underscore.
