What is the per-hw-queue flag?

Not see such skip in dm_poll_one_dev() in which
queue_for_each_poll_hw_ctx() is called directly for polling all POLL
hctxs of the request queue, so can you explain it a bit more about this
skip mechanism?

Even though such skipping is implemented, not sure if good performance
can be reached because hctx poll may be done in ping-pong style
among several CPUs. But blk-mq hctx is supposed to have its cpu affinities.
