blk_init_rl() allocates a mempool using mempool_create_node() with node
local memory.  This only allocates the mempool and element list locally
to the requeue queue node.

What we really want to do is allocate the request itself local to the
queue.  To do this, we need our own alloc and free functions that will
allocate from request_cachep and pass the request queue node in to prefer
node local memory.
