The local boolean in __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() decides whether
to fall back to the per-ctx round-robin path (blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx())
instead of the batch flush path (blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs()).  The whole
function is about dispatching anyway, so the name "need_dispatch" is
not particularly informative and can mislead readers into thinking that
a false value means "skip dispatching".

Rename it to "piecemeal_dispatch" to match the comment right above the
check ("dequeue request one by one from sw queue if queue is busy")
and to convey the actual intent: take the piecemeal, fair, one-at-a-time
path either when we just drained hctx->dispatch (so the device has
recently pushed back) or when the dispatch_busy EWMA still indicates
congestion.  The fast batch path is only taken when neither signal
suggests recent backpressure.

No functional change.
