scsi: smartpqi: Add stream detection
Enhance performance by adding sequential stream detection for RAID5/RAID6 sequential write requests. Reduce stripe lock contention with full-stripe write operations. There is one common stripe lock for each RAID volume that can be set by either the RAID engine or the AIO engine. The AIO path has I/O request sizes well below the stripe size resulting in many Read-Modify-Write operations. Sending the request to the RAID engine allows for coalescing requests into full stripe operations resulting in reduced Read-Modify-Write operations.
