block, bfq: forbid stable merging of queues associated with different actuators
If queues associated with different actuators are merged, then control
is lost on each actuator. Therefore some actuator may be
underutilized, and throughput may decrease. This problem cannot occur
with basic queue merging, because the latter is triggered by spatial
locality, and sectors for different actuators are not close to each
other. Yet it may happen with stable merging. To address this issue,
this commit prevents stable merging from occurring among queues
associated with different actuators.
