The thing is that driver code may need to know if multiple queues are used,
then driver may partition its own resource into multi hw queues, and
improve its .queuecommand and .complete_command. That seems what
megaraid_sas should do in next time.

The per-node hw queue is used together with BLK_MQ_F_HOST_TAGS, which is
really for improving the single queue case(single tagset). If driver/device
supports real multiple hw queues, they don't need this approach.
