Even though we place the req_issued and req_complete in separate cachelines, there's considerable overhead in doing the atomics particularly on the completion side. Get rid of having the two counters, and just use a percpu_counter for this. That's what it was made for, after all. This considerably reduces the overhead in __io_free_req().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
