Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix problems about handling bio to plug when bio merged failed.

There are some problems about handling bio which merge to plug failed.
Patch1 will avoid unnecessary plug should_sort test,although it's not a bug.
Patch2 correct a bug when handle more devices,it leak some devices to trace plug-operation.

Because the patch2,so it's not necessary to sort when flush plug.Although patch2 has 
O(n*n) complexity,it's more than list_sort which has O(nlog(n)) complexity.But the plug 
list is unlikely too long,so i think patch3 can accept.

Jianpeng Ma (3):
  block: avoid unnecessary plug should_sort test.
  block: Fix not tracing all device plug-operation.
  block: Remove unnecessary requests sort.
