If we export this it needs a kerneldoc comment, and probably also
a better name.

Looking at this I'm also a little confused about blk_mq_in_flight_rw vs
blk_mq_in_flight and why one needs blk-mq special casing and the other
not, maybe we need to dig into the history and try to understand that
as well while we're at it.
