Export a way to delay initializing a request_queue after allocating it. This is needed by device-mapper devices, as they create the queue on device creation time, but they decide whether it would use the elevator and requests only after first successful table load. Only request-based dm-devices use the elevator and requests. Without this either one needs to initialize and free the mempool and elevator, if it was a bio-based dm-device or leave it allocated, as it is currently done.
