This patch adds plug/unplug callouts for tcmu, so we can avoid the number of times we switch to userspace. Using this driver with tcm_loop is a common config, and dependng on the nr_hw_queues (nr_hw_queues=1 performs much better) and fio jobs (lower num jobs around 4) this patch can increase IOPS by only around 5-10% because we hit other issues like the big per tcmu device mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
