virtio_blk: Drop unused request tracking list
Benchmark shows small performance improvement on fusion io device. Before: seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=19,982KB/s, iops=39,964, runt= 52475msec seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,321KB/s, iops=40,641, runt= 51601msec rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=15,404KB/s, iops=30,808, runt= 68070msec rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=14,776KB/s, iops=29,552, runt= 70963msec After: seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=20,343KB/s, iops=40,685, runt= 51546msec seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,803KB/s, iops=41,606, runt= 50404msec rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=16,221KB/s, iops=32,442, runt= 64642msec rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=15,199KB/s, iops=30,397, runt= 68991msec Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
