The variable name "i" is usually used for a loop index. In this case it 
represents a slot in the submission queue. How about renaming "i" into 
"slot"?

Please modify this function such that it returns the head slot value 
instead of storing it in a member variable and remove the sq_head_slot 
member variable. Storing the sq_head_slot value in a member variable 
seems wrong to me since the value of that variable will be outdated as 
soon as the submission queue is restarted.

Please remove this function and inline this function into its callers.

Thanks,

Bart.
