blk-mq: don't disallow request merges for req->special being set For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special. For an old style request based driver, req->special is used for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the old style driver, we do not merge such requests. As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and since we have no problem merging on these, make this check dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.
