It is observed that IOPS can be improved much by simply making
hw queue per NUMA node on null_blk, so this patch applies the
introduced .host_tagset for improving performance.
In reality, .can_queue is quite big, and NUMA node number is
often small, so each hw queue's depth should be high enough to
saturate device.
