Subject: [PATCH] aio: inform block layer of how many requests we are
 submitting

After commit 47c122e35d7e ("block: pre-allocate requests if plug is
started and is a batch"), block layer can make smarter request allocation
if it know how many requests it need to submit, so switch to use
blk_start_plug_nr_ios here to pass the number of requests we will submit.
