loop: add blk-mq.h include
Looks like we pull it in through other ways on x86, but we fail
on sparc:

In file included from drivers/block/cryptoloop.c:30:0:
drivers/block/loop.h:63:24: error: field 'tag_set' has incomplete type
struct blk_mq_tag_set tag_set;

Add the include to loop.h, kill it from loop.c.

block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq
The conversion is a bit straightforward, and use work queue to
dispatch requests of loop block, and one big change is that requests
is submitted to backend file/device concurrently with work queue,
so throughput may get improved much. Given write requests over same
file are often run exclusively, so don't handle them concurrently for
avoiding extra context switch cost, possible lock contention and work
schedule cost. Also with blk-mq, there is opportunity to get loop I/O
merged before submitting to backend file/device.

In the following test:
	- base: v3.19-rc2-2041231
	- loop over file in ext4 file system on SSD disk
	- bs: 4k, libaio, io depth: 64, O_DIRECT, num of jobs: 1
	- throughput: IOPS

	------------------------------------------------------
	|            | base      | base with loop-mq | delta |
	------------------------------------------------------
	| randread   | 1740      | 25318             | +1355%|
	------------------------------------------------------
	| read       | 42196     | 51771             | +22.6%|
	-----------------------------------------------------
	| randwrite  | 35709     | 34624             | -3%   |
	-----------------------------------------------------
	| write      | 39137     | 40326             | +3%   |
	-----------------------------------------------------

So loop-mq can improve throughput for both read and randread, meantime,
performance of write and randwrite isn't hurted basically.

Another benefit is that loop driver code gets simplified
much after blk-mq conversion, and the patch can be thought as
cleanup too.
