Subject: [PATCH block/for-linus] block: blk-throttle should be drained
 regardless of q->elevator

Currently, blk_cleanup_queue() doesn't call elv_drain_elevator() if
q->elevator doesn't exist; however, bio based drivers don't have
elevator initialized but can still use blk-throttle.  This patch moves
q->elevator test inside blk_drain_queue() such that only
elv_drain_elevator() is skipped if !q->elevator.
