In case we use shared tags feature, blk_mq_alloc_tag_set might fail
during module initialization. In that case, fail the load with a
suitable error code. Also move the tagset initialization process after
defining the amount of submission queues.

Some storage drivers need to share tag sets between devices. It's
useful to be able to model that with null_blk, to find hangs or
performance issues.

Add a 'shared_tags' bool module parameter that. If that is set to
true and nr_devices is bigger than 1, all devices allocated will
share the same tag set.

Use the same values for use for request completion errors as the return
value from -&gt;queue_rq.  BLK_STS_RESOURCE is special cased to cause
a requeue, and all the others are completed as-is.

<title>block: introduce new block status code type</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Now that all drivers that call blk_mq_complete_requests have a
-&gt;complete callback we can remove the direct call to blk_mq_end_request,
as well as the error argument to blk_mq_complete_request.

This patch changes the behavior of the null_blk driver for the
LightNVM mode as follows:
* REQ_FAILFAST_MASK is set for read-ahead requests.
* If no I/O priority has been set in the bio, the I/O priority is
  copied from the I/O context.
* The rq_disk member is initialized if bio-&gt;bi_bdev != NULL.
* req-&gt;errors is initialized to zero.

This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk
will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always
needs to block in its -&gt;queue_rq() function.  The intent is to help find
regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist.

If null_blk is loaded with submit_queues &gt; 1 and blocking=1, this
shows the regression recently fixed by bf4907c05e61.
