Attached. I collected the logs for all the dm-* and sd* devices against
v5.16-rc4 with the 3 commits reverted:
b22809092c70 ("block: replace always false argument with 'false'")
ff1552232b36 ("blk-mq: don't issue request directly in case that current is to be blocked")
dc5fc361d891 ("block: attempt direct issue of plug list")

v5.16-rc4 does not reproduce the issue, so I'm pretty sure b22809092c70 is the
patch that resolves the excessive CPU usage.
