This is a 2nd stab at solving the problem of hostwide shared tags for SCSI
HBAs.

As discussed previously, Ming Lei's most recent series in [0] to use
hctx[0] tags for all hctx for a host was a bit messy and intrusive, so seen
as a no go. Indeed, blk-mq is designed for separate tags per hctx.

This series introduces a different approach to solve that problem, in
keeping the per-hctx tags but introducing a new separate shared set of
tags, which SCSI HBAs can use for a hostwide tags.

Adding support for shared tags should not have a significant performance
impact for when shared tags are not requested.

Currently I just fixed up the hisi_sas driver to use the shared tags,
but should not be much trouble to change others over.

Patch #3 is quite experimental at this point. I also threw in a minor
tidy-up patch.
