Ewww. I think without refactoring to clear what 'use_mq_path'
means here and better naming this is a total non-started. Even with
that we'll now have yet another code path to worry about. Is there
any chance to instead consolidate into a single path?

So now with blk-mq and an elevator set we go into blk_old_get_request,
hich will simply allocate new requests. How does this not break
every existing driver?
