Tcm_loop uses workqueue to end requests, which is non-interrupt context,
then we can complete request directly instead deferring it to softirq.
The call graph likes below:
    blk_mq_complete_request_remote+1
    blk_mq_complete_request+14
    target_put_sess_cmd+294
    transport_generic_free_cmd+93
    target_complete_ok_work+251
    process_one_work+482
    worker_thread+80
    kthread+361
    ret_from_fork+31

Use tcm_loop and tcmu(backstore is file) to evaluate performance, fio
job:
  [global]
  filename=/dev/sdb
  direct=1
  runtime=30
  thread=1
  norandommap=1
  time_based
  numjobs=1
  rw=randread
  iodepth=32
  ioengine=libaio

We can get throughput improvement.
