How about renaming blk_mq_reinit_tagset() into blk_mq_tagset_iter() and
to make the argument list of blk_mq_tagset_iter() more similar to that of
blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() such that callers of blk_mq_tagset_iter()
can pass a pointer to any structure through the @priv argument? That would
make this function more general and maybe also more useful to other block
drivers.

Bart.
