Some users have a large AoE target while others like to use many AoE
targets at the same time.  In the latter case, there is an opportunity to
greatly improve aggregate throughput by allowing different threads to
complete the I/O associated with each target.  For 36 targets, 4 KiB read
throughput roughly doubles, for example, with these changes in place.

<title>nbd: correct disconnect behavior</title>

<id>c378f70adbc1bbecd9e6db145019f14b2f688c7c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT
ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of
several error codes).  This means that nbd-client does not know if a
manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred.
Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after
error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly.

This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user
requests a disconnect.  This means that nbd-client can correctly either
persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user
requested it).

<content type='text'>
The NBD_CLEAR_QUE ioctl has been deprecated for quite some time (its job
is now done by two other ioctls).  We should stop trying to make bogus
assertions in it.  Also, user-level code should remove calls to
NBD_CLEAR_QUE, ASAP.

Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.
