Subject: [PATCH -next RFC v2 6/8] blk-mq: force tag preemption for split bios

For HDD, sequential io is much faster than random io, thus it's better
to issue split io continuously. However, this is broken when tag preemption
is disabled, because wakers can only get one tag each time.

Thus tag preemption should be disabled for split bios, specifically the
first bio won't preempt tag, and following split bios will preempt tag.
