block: avoid hctx spinlock for plug with multiple queues

blk_mq_flush_plug_list() has a fast path if all requests in the plug
are destined for the same request_queue. It calls ->queue_rqs() with the
whole batch of requests, falling back on ->queue_rq() for any requests
not handled by ->queue_rqs(). However, if the requests are destined for
multiple queues, blk_mq_flush_plug_list() has a slow path that calls
blk_mq_dispatch_list() repeatedly to filter the requests by ctx/hctx.
Each queue's requests are inserted into the hctx's dispatch list under a
spinlock, then __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() takes them out of the
dispatch list (taking the spinlock again), and finally
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() calls ->queue_rq() on each request.

Acquiring the hctx spinlock twice and calling ->queue_rq() instead of
->queue_rqs() makes the slow path significantly more expensive. Thus,
batching more requests into a single plug (e.g. io_uring_enter syscall)
can counterintuitively hurt performance by causing the plug to span
multiple queues. We have observed 2-3% of CPU time spent acquiring the
hctx spinlock alone on workloads issuing requests to multiple NVMe
devices in the same io_uring SQE batches.

Add a medium path in blk_mq_flush_plug_list() for plugs that don't have
elevators or come from a schedule, but do span multiple queues. Filter
the requests by queue and call ->queue_rqs()/->queue_rq() on the list of
requests destined to each request_queue.

With this change, we no longer see any CPU time spent in _raw_spin_lock
from blk_mq_flush_plug_list and throughput increases accordingly.
