This reverts commit 6d4d273588378c65915acaf7b2ee74e9dd9c130a.
bfq.limit_depth passes word_depths[] as shallow_depth down to sbitmap core
sbitmap_get_shallow, which uses just the number to limit the scan depth of
each bitmap word, formula:
scan_percentage_for_each_word = shallow_depth / (1 << sbimap->shift) * 100%
That means the comments's percentiles 50%, 75%, 18%, 37% of bfq are correct.
But after commit patch 'bfq: Fix computation of shallow depth', we use
sbitmap.depth instead, as a example in following case:
sbitmap.depth = 256, map_nr = 4, shift = 6; sbitmap_word.depth = 64.
The resulsts of computed bfqd->word_depths[] are {128, 192, 48, 96}, and
three of the numbers exceed core dirver's 'sbitmap_word.depth=64' limit
nothing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
