cfq-iosched: no dispatch limit for single queue
Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send
up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit.
Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31
requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk
thoughput.
On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue
pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will
stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.
