Tejun Heo cb98fc8bb9 [BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switch
This patch reimplements elevator switch.  This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.

 * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
   private data set.
 * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
   iosched.  They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
   Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
   have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
 * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
   its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
   q->rq->elvpriv.
 * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
   is not allocated for new requests.

 To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS.  New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.
