blk-mq, elevator: Count requests per hctx to improve performance
High CPU utilization on "native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath" due to lock contention is possible for mq-deadline and bfq IO schedulers when nr_hw_queues is more than one. It is because kblockd work queue can submit IO from all online CPUs (through blk_mq_run_hw_queues()) even though only one hctx has pending commands. The elevator callback .has_work for mq-deadline and bfq scheduler considers pending work if there are any IOs on request queue but it does not account hctx context. Add a per-hctx 'elevator_queued' count to the hctx to avoid triggering the elevator even though there are no requests queued.
