Can we please just stop doing these one-by-one assignments, and just do 
something like

        memset(rq, 0, sizeof(*rq));
        rq->q = q;
        rq->ref_count = 1;
        INIT_HLIST_NODE(&rq->hash);
        RB_CLEAR_NODE(&rq->rb_node);

instead?

The memset() is likely faster and smaller than one-by-one assignments 
anyway, even if the one-by-ones can avoid initializing some field or there 
ends up being a double initialization..
