Subject: [PATCH v6] block: move non sync requests complete flow to softirq

From: zhanghui <zhanghui31@...omi.com>

Currently, for a controller that supports multiple queues, like UFS4.0,
the mq_ops->complete is executed in the interrupt top-half. Therefore, 
the file system's end io is executed during the request completion process,
such as f2fs_write_end_io on smartphone.

However, we found that the execution time of the file system end io
is strongly related to the size of the bio and the processing speed
of the CPU. Because the file system's end io will traverse every page
in bio, this is a very time-consuming operation.

We measured that the 80M bio write operation on the little CPU will
cause the execution time of the top-half to be greater than 100ms,
which will undoubtedly affect interrupt response latency.

Let's fix this issue by moving non sync requests completion to softirq
context, and keeping sync requests completion in the IRQ top-half context.
