elv_next_request() is the driver hand-off point, so should be pretty
close to the issue time unless the request gets requeued due to some
busy condition (which will also be logged). elv_dequeue_request() may
happen much later, some drivers do it right before calling the io
completion handler - IDE does this - since it leaves the request on the
queue list for the duration of the operation. So moving the ISSUE event
to elv_dequeue_request() would not be correct.
