From: Shaohua Li <redacted>

two small patches to improve performance for loop in directio mode. The goal is
to increase IO size sending to underlayer disks.

Thanks,
Shaohua

V2 -> V3:
- Use GFP_NOIO pointed out by Ming
- Rebase to latest for-next branch

Shaohua Li (2):
  block/loop: set hw_sectors
  block/loop: allow request merge for directio mode
