Hi John

This is for current/5.17. This patch is meaningfully only on top of [1].

[1] " blk-mq: Use shared tags for shared sbitmap support" Commit -
e155b0c238b20f0a866f4334d292656665836c8a

While doing additional testing for [1], I noticed some performance issue.
Along with the performance issue, I noticed CPU lockup as well. Lockup
trace -

_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x42/0x50
blk_mq_find_and_get_req+0x20/0xa0
bt_iter+0x2d/0x80
blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter+0x1aa/0x2f0
? blk_mq_complete_request+0x30/0x30
? blk_mq_complete_request+0x30/0x30
? __schedule+0x360/0x850
blk_mq_timeout_work+0x5e/0x120
process_one_work+0x1a8/0x380
worker_thread+0x30/0x380
? wq_calc_node_cpumask.isra.30+0x100/0x100
kthread+0x167/0x190
? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

It is a generic performance issue if driver use " shost->host_tagset = 1".
In fact, I found that [1] is useful to fix performance issue and provided
this additional patch.

I changed my setup to have 64 scsi_devices (earlier I just kept 16 or 24
drives, so did not noticed this issue). Performance/cpu lockup issue is not
due to [1].
More number of scsi device, hardware context per host and high queue depth
will increase the chances of lockup and performance drop.

Do you think, it is good to have changes in 5.16 + stable ?
I don't know if this patch will create any side effect. Can you review and
let me know your feedback. ?
