block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depths

Instead of just checking whether this device uses block layer
tagging, we can improve the detection by looking at the maximum
queue depth it has reached. If that crosses 4, then deem it a
queuing device.

This is important on high IOPS devices, since plugging hurts
the performance there (it can be as much as 10-15% of the sys
time).
