[RFC] block: Allocate only 1 tag set for a kdump kernel

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Jul 28 2020 - 07:08:19 EST


Do not update nr_hw_queues again after setting it to 1 for a kdump
kernel. This avoids allocating a tag set of size nr_cpu_ids and but
then just using one tag set.

Hi,

I stumbled across this and didn't make sense to me that we might
allocated more tag sets than we potently use. But maybe I am
not seeing the obvious thing.

Only compiled tested.

Thanks,
Daniel
