Subject: [PATCHSET/RFC v2] blk-mq scheduling framework

As a followup to this posting from yesterday:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=148115232806065&w=2

this is version 2. I wanted to post a new one fairly quickly, as there
ended up being a number of potential crashes in v1. This one should be
solid, I've run mq-deadline on both NVMe and regular rotating storage,
and we handle the various merging cases correctly.

You can download it from git as well:

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block blk-mq-sched.2

Note that this is based on for-4.10/block, which is in turn based on
v4.9-rc1. I suggest pulling it into my for-next branch, which would
then merge nicely with 'master' as well.

Changes since v1:

- Add Kconfig entries to allow the user to choose what the default
  scheduler should be for blk-mq, and whether that depends on the
  number of hardware queues.

- Properly abstract the whole get/put of a request, so we can manage
  the life time properly.

- Enable full merging on mq-deadline (front/back, bio-to-rq, rq-to-rq).
  Has full feature parity with deadline now.

- Export necessary symbols for compiling mq-deadline as a module.

- Various API adjustments for the mq schedulers.

- Various cleanups and improvements.

- Fix a lot of bugs. A lot. Upgrade!
