6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 39823b47bbd40502632ffba90ebb34fff7c8b5e8 upstream.
The current tag reservation code is based on a misunderstanding of the meaning of data->shallow_depth. Fix the tag reservation code as follows: * By default, do not reserve any tags for synchronous requests because for certain use cases reserving tags reduces performance. See also Harshit Mogalapalli, [bug-report] Performance regression with fio sequential-write on a multipath setup, 2024-03-07 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/5ce2ae5d-61e2-4ede-ad55-551112602401@ora...) * Reduce min_shallow_depth to one because min_shallow_depth must be less than or equal any shallow_depth value. * Scale dd->async_depth from the range [1, nr_requests] to [1, bits_per_sbitmap_word].
