Subject: [RFC] scsi: switch to scsi-mq by default

It has been more than one year since we tried to change the default
from legacy to multi queue in SCSI. Back then we had to retract the
change because of performance issues with rotating disks.

In the meantime there have been a substantial amount of performance
improvements, thus we can re-enable scsi-mq without a significant
performance penalty.
