block: kyber: make kyber more friendly with merging

Currently, kyber is very unfriendly with merging. kyber depends
on ctx rq_list to do merging, however, most of time, it will not
leave any requests in ctx rq_list. This is because even if tokens
of one domain is used up, kyber will try to dispatch requests
from other domain and flush the rq_list there.

To improve this, we setup kyber_ctx_queue (kcq) which is similar
with ctx, but it has rq_lists for different domain and build same
mapping between kcq and khd as the ctx & hctx. Then we could merge,
insert and dispatch for different domains separately. At the same
time, only flush the rq_list of kcq when get domain token successfully.
Then if one domain token is used up, the requests could be left in
the rq_list of that domain and maybe merged with following io.

Following is my test result on machine with 8 cores and NVMe card
INTEL SSDPEKKR128G7

fio size=256m ioengine=libaio iodepth=64 direct=1 numjobs=8

When set numjobs to 16, the bw and iops could reach 1662MB/s and 425k
on my platform.
