Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Remove elevator kernel parameter

Since the last RESEND[1], I found that I used an old block/for-next to base my
changes. This version is just a rebase over
8ba64588ef2136ff7561fb2047d53debed8a7b56 ("Merge branch 'for-5.4/libata' into
for-next"), solving minor conflicts.

Original cover letter:
After the first patch sent[2], together with some background from Jens[3], this
patchset aims to remove completely elevator kernel parameter, since it is not
being used since blk-mq was set by default.

Along with elevator code, some documentation was also updated to remove elevator
references.
