Subject[ 85/95] virtio_blk: Drop unused request tracking list
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Asias He <asias@redhat.com>

commit f65ca1dc6a8c81c6bd72297d4399ec5f4c1f3a01 upstream.

Benchmark shows small performance improvement on fusion io device.

Before:
seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=19,982KB/s, iops=39,964, runt= 52475msec
seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,321KB/s, iops=40,641, runt= 51601msec
rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=15,404KB/s, iops=30,808, runt= 68070msec
rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=14,776KB/s, iops=29,552, runt= 70963msec

After:
seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=20,343KB/s, iops=40,685, runt= 51546msec
seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,803KB/s, iops=41,606, runt= 50404msec
rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=16,221KB/s, iops=32,442, runt= 64642msec
rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=15,199KB/s, iops=30,397, runt= 68991msec
