virtio_blk: reverse request order in virtio_queue_rqs
[ Upstream commit 7f212e997edbb7a2cb85cef2ac14265dfaf88717 ] blk_mq_flush_plug_list submits requests in the reverse order that they were submitted, which leads to a rather suboptimal I/O pattern especially in rotational devices. Fix this by rewriting virtio_queue_rqs so that it always pops the requests from the passed in request list, and then adds them to the head of a local submit list. This actually simplifies the code a bit as it removes the complicated list splicing, at the cost of extra updates of the rq_next pointer. As that should be cache hot anyway it should be an easy price to pay.
