Subject: [PATCH] block: Initialize cfqq->ioprio_class in cfq_get_queue()

KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of
uninitialized memory in cfq_init_cfqq():

==================================================================
(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists
upstream)

The uninitialized struct cfq_queue is created by kmem_cache_alloc_node()
and then passed to cfq_init_cfqq(), which accesses cfqq->ioprio_class
before it's initialized.
