Subject: blk-mq: bitmap tag: performance degradation?

Hi Jens, et al

With new bitmap tags I am observing performance degradation on 'null_blk'
device with 512 queue depth. This is 'fio' config used:

[global]
bs=4k
size=16g

[nullb]
filename=/dev/nullb0
direct=1
rw=randread
numjobs=8

I tried machines with 16 and 48 CPUs and it seems the more
CPUs we have the worse the result. Here is 48 CPUs one:

3.15.0-rc4+

   READ: io=131072MB, aggrb=3128.7MB/s, minb=400391KB/s, maxb=407204KB/s,

Thanks!
