nvme-pci: reverse request order in nvme_queue_rqs

[ Upstream commit beadf0088501d9dcf2454b05d90d5d31ea3ba55f ]

blk_mq_flush_plug_list submits requests in the reverse order that they
were submitted, which leads to a rather suboptimal I/O pattern especially
in rotational devices.  Fix this by rewriting nvme_queue_rqs so that it
always pops the requests from the passed in request list, and then adds
them to the head of a local submit list.  This actually simplifies the
code a bit as it removes the complicated list splicing, at the cost of
extra updates of the rq_next pointer.  As that should be cache hot
anyway it should be an easy price to pay.
