[ Upstream commit 02746e26c39ee473b975e0f68d1295abc92672ed ]

No need to pre-allocate a big buffer for the IO SGL anymore. If a device
has lots of deep queues, preallocation for the sg list can consume
substantial amounts of memory. For HW virtio-blk device, nr_hw_queues
can be 64 or 128 and each queue's depth might be 128. This means the
resulting preallocation for the data SGLs is big.

Switch to runtime allocation for SGL for lists longer than 2 entries.
This is the approach used by NVMe drivers so it should be reasonable for
virtio block as well. Runtime SGL allocation has always been the case
for the legacy I/O path so this is nothing new.

The preallocated small SGL depends on SG_CHAIN so if the ARCH doesn't
support SG_CHAIN, use only runtime allocation for the SGL.

Re-organize the setup of the IO request to fit the new sg chain
mechanism.

No performance degradation was seen (fio libaio engine with 16 jobs and
128 iodepth):

This is the virtual block driver for virtio. It can be used with
QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
