[PATCH] blk: __make_request efficiency
In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request. Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it. Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking. Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.
