[PATCH 5.17 0012/1126] block: ensure plug merging checks the correct queue at least once

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5b2050718d095cd3242d1f42aaaea3a2fec8e6f0 upstream.

Song reports that a RAID rebuild workload runs much slower recently,
and it is seeing a lot less merging than it did previously. The reason
is that a previous commit reduced the amount of work we do for plug
merging. RAID rebuild interleaves requests between disks, so a last-entry
check in plug merging always misses a merge opportunity since we always
find a different disk than what we are looking for.

Modify the logic such that it's still a one-hit cache, but ensure that
we check enough to find the right target before giving up.

Fixes: d38a9c04c0d5 ("block: only check previous entry for plug merge attempt")
