Once again, use your line length real estate for your change logs..

This probably should be merged wit hthe patch that introduceѕ
blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx.

Btw, do we really need to return a request from blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx,
or would it be easier to just add it directly to the list passed as
an argument. I did wonder that about the existing code already.

No need for the dispatched argument, just write this as:
} while (blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(q, &rq_list));
WRITE_ONCE(hctx->dispatch_from, ctx);
and do an early return instead of a break from inside the loop.

Use your 80 line real estate for comments..
