Subject: [PATCH 01/17] drbd: introduce drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@...bit.com>

Recently, drbd_recv_header() was changed to potentially
implicitly "unplug" the backend device(s), in case there
is currently nothing to receive.

Be more explicit about it: re-introduce the original drbd_recv_header(),
and introduce a new drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug() for use by the
receiver "main loop".

Using explicit plugging via blk_start_plug(); blk_finish_plug();
really helps the io-scheduler of the backend with merging requests.

Wrap the receiver "main loop" with such a plug.
Also catch unplug events on the Primary,
and try to propagate.

This is performance relevant.  Without this, if the receiving side does
not merge requests, number of IOPS on the peer can me significantly
higher than IOPS on the Primary, and can easily become the bottleneck.

Together, both changes should help to reduce the number of IOPS
as seen on the backend of the receiving side, by increasing
the chance of merging mergable requests, without trading latency
for more throughput.
