There are several possible usages of this information -
the first will be related to starting a poller for a bdev
channel when there are I/O that need to be retried.
Usually we can retry an I/O when a previous I/O completes,
but if there are no outstanding I/O, we need to start a
poller. This count will help us make that decision.
