block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are available

In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them
for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as
writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance.

Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe
to get a decent async write performance.

This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk
from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of
streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync
IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.

readahead: make context readahead more conservative

This helps performance on moderately dense random reads on SSD.

Transaction-Per-Second numbers provided by Taobao:

		QPS	case
		-------------------------------------------------------
		7536	disable context readahead totally
w/ patch:	7129	slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read
		6717	slower size rampup
w/o patch:	5581	unmodified context readahead

Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen
to read N recently.  After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three*
random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2.  The probability of this
happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very
dense, which actually deserves some readahead.

Also start with a smaller readahead window.  The impact to interleaved
sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the
small readahead window rampup phase is negletable.

The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD
whose seek cost is pretty high.  However as SSD is increasingly used for
random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate
on interleaved sequential reads.

Another SSD rand read test from Miao

        # file size:        2GB
        # read IO amount: 625MB
        sysbench --test=fileio          \
                --max-requests=10000    \
                --num-threads=1         \
                --file-num=1            \
                --file-block-size=64K   \
                --file-test-mode=rndrd  \
                --file-fsync-freq=0     \
                --file-fsync-end=off    run

shows the performance of btrfs grows up from 69MB/s to 121MB/s, ext4 from
104MB/s to 121MB/s.

nohz: Reduce overhead under high-freq idling patterns

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
high frequency.

In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.

Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

block: row: Remove warning massage from add_request

Regular priority queues is marked as "starved" if it skipped a dispatch
due to being empty. When a new request is added to a "starved" queue
it will be marked as urgent.
The removed WARN_ON was warning about an impossible case when a regular
priority (read) queue was marked as starved but wasn't empty. This is
a possible case due to the bellow:
If the device driver fetched a read request that is pending for
transmission and an URGENT request arrives, the fetched read will be
reinserted back to the scheduler. Its possible that the queue it will be
reinserted to was marked as "starved" in the meanwhile due to being empty.

mmc: block: flush request requeue after timeout.

On some eMMC cards cache flush is taking longer than 30 sec timeout
after HPI issued and -EIO reported to the upper layers. This may result
into journaling issues as flush calls are issued by the file system
joulrnaling code.

This change increases flash cache timeout to 90 sec, in case of timeout
occurs, after HPI issued, flash request re-queued to the block layer queue
to execute it later and keep journaling logic valid.

mmc: core: increase timeout for disable cache operation

According to eMMC specification, there is no upper bound defined on
a flush request and the duration of flush operation is left to card
vendor's implementation. This means that it may take a very long
time to complete.

When eMMC cache is disabled, the card has to flush all the data in its
cache. So this means that for certain cards, the driver is not waiting
long enough for the flush to complete during cache disable operation,
leading to data on the card being corrupted.

This change increases the timeout for cache disable operation, thus
preventing data corruption.
