This allows userspace to request the fabric drivers do direct submissions
if they support it. With the new device file, submit_type, users can
write 0 - 2 to control how commands are submitted to the backend:
0 - TARGET_FABRIC_DEFAULT_SUBMIT - LIO will use the fabric's default
submission type. This is the default for compat.
1 - TARGET_DIRECT_SUBMIT - LIO will submit the cmd to the backend from the
calling context if the fabric the cmd was received on supports it,
else it will use the fabric's default type.
2 - TARGET_QUEUE_SUBMIT - LIO will queue the cmd to the LIO submission
workqueue which will pass it to the backend.
When using an NVMe drive and vhost-scsi with direct submission we see
around a 20% improvement in 4K I/Os:
fio jobs 1 2 4 8 10
--------------------------------------------------
defer 94K 190K 394K 770K 890K
direct 128K 252K 488K 950K -
And when using the queueing mode, we now no longer see issues like where
the iSCSI tx thread is blocked in the block layer waiting on a tag so it
can't respond to a nop or perform I/Os for other LUs.
