If we have a list of requests in our plug list, send it to the driver in
one go, if possible. The driver must set mq_ops->queue_rqs() to support
this, if not the usual one-by-one path is used.

What is the dependency on shared tags here?
 From what I've seen it's just about submitting requests; the only 
difference to shared tags is the way the tags are allocated.
Care to explain?

Cheers,

For shared tags, we need to actively increment the use count per
request. This path doesn't do that, so it's disabled for now. It could
be done, but then it'd have to be in the caller, so I'd rather leave it
for a future optimization if anyone cares enough about this for shared
tags.

I can add a comment about it if that helps.

Please do.
It'll act as a reminder what needs to be done if and when one of the 
drivers requiring shared tags is looking at implementing queue_rqs.
