blk-mq: save memory by freeing requests on unused hardware queues
Depending on the topology of the machine and the number of queues
exposed by a device, we can end up in a situation where some of
the hardware queues are unused (as in, they don't map to any
software queues). For this case, free up the memory used by the
request map, as we will not use it. This can be a substantial
amount of memory, depending on the number of queues vs CPUs and
the queue depth of the device.
