[PATCH V4 2/4] blk-mq: implement queue quiesce via percpu_ref for BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING

In case of BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING, blk-mq uses SRCU to mark read critical
section during dispatching request, then request queue quiesce is based on
SRCU. What we want to get is low cost added in fast path.

With percpu-ref, it is cleaner and simpler & enough for implementing queue
quiesce. The main requirement is to make sure all read sections to observe
QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED once blk_mq_quiesce_queue() returns.

Also it becomes much easier to add interface of async queue quiesce.

Meantime memory footprint can be reduced with per-request-queue percpu-ref.

>From implementation viewpoint, in fast path, not see percpu_ref is
slower than SRCU, and srcu tree(default option in most distributions)
could be slower since memory barrier is required in both lock & unlock,
and rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() should be much cheap than
smp_mb().

1) percpu_ref just hold the rcu_read_lock, then run a check &
   increase/decrease on the percpu variable:

   rcu_read_lock()
   if (__ref_is_percpu(ref, &percpu_count))
	this_cpu_inc(*percpu_count);
   rcu_read_unlock()

2) srcu tree:
        idx = READ_ONCE(ssp->srcu_idx) & 0x1;
        this_cpu_inc(ssp->sda->srcu_lock_count[idx]);
        smp_mb(); /* B */  /* Avoid leaking the critical section. */

Also from my test on null_blk(blocking), not observe percpu-ref performs
worse than srcu, see the following test:

1) test steps:

rmmod null_blk > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe null_blk nr_devices=1 submit_queues=1 blocking=1
fio --bs=4k --size=512G  --rw=randread --norandommap --direct=1 --ioengine=libaio \
	--iodepth=64 --runtime=60 --group_reporting=1  --name=nullb0 \
	--filename=/dev/nullb0 --numjobs=32

test machine: HP DL380, 16 cpu cores, 2 threads per core, dual
sockets/numa, Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU @ 2.10GHz

2) test result:
- srcu quiesce: 6063K IOPS
- percpu-ref quiesce: 6113K IOPS
