cover scsi: storvsc: Some enhancements

While testing on some high latency storage backends, to get the advertised IOPS, we have to increase the size of the ringbuffer. Address this issue.

K. Y. Srinivasan (3):
scsi: storvsc: Increase the ring buffer size
Scsi: storvsc: Size the queue depth based on the ringbuffer size
scsi: storvsc: Always send on the selected outgoing channel

PATCH 1/3 scsi: storvsc: Increase the ring buffer size

Increase the default ring buffer size as this can significantly improve performance especially on high latency storage back-ends.

PATCH 2/3 scsi: storvsc: Size the queue depth based on the ringbuffer size

Size the queue depth based on the ringbuffer size. Also accomodate for the fact that we could have multiple channels (ringbuffers) per adaptor.

PATCH 3/3 scsi: storvsc: Always send on the selected outgoing channel

In reply to K. Y. Srinivasan

The current code always sent packets without data on the primary channel. Properly distribute sending of packets with no data amongst all available channels. I would like to thank Long Li for noticing this problem.
