    block: kill QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE · 2705c937

    Since bdced438 ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting"),
    physical segment number is mainly figured out in blk_queue_split() for
    fast path, and the flag of BIO_SEG_VALID is set there too.
    
    Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this
    flag.
    
    Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID
    is set in blk_queue_split().
    
    For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():
    
    - run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual case
    
    - run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is killed
    since dm-rq is the only user.
    
    Multi-page bvec is enabled now, not doing S/G merging is rather pointless with the
    current setup of the I/O path, as it isn't going to save you a significant amount
    of cycles.
