Subject: [PATCH v4] blk-iocost: Pass gendisk to ioc_refresh_params

Current kernel (d2980d8d826554fa6981d621e569a453787472f8) crashes
when blk_iocost_init for `nvme1` disk.

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050
	#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
	#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

This happens because ioc_refresh_params() is being called without
a properly initialized ioc->rqos, which is happening later in the callee
side.

ioc_refresh_params() -> ioc_autop_idx() tries to access
ioc->rqos.disk->queue but ioc->rqos.disk is NULL, causing the BUG above.

Create function, called ioc_refresh_params_disk(), that is similar to
ioc_refresh_params() but where the "struct gendisk" could be passed as
an explicit argument. This function will be called when ioc->rqos.disk
is not initialized.

Fixes: ce57b558604e ("blk-rq-qos: make rq_qos_add and rq_qos_del more useful")

v1->v2: Pass the struct request_queue explictly to ioc_refresh_params()
v2->v3: Use struct gendisk instead of struct request_queue
v3->v4: Rename _ioc_refresh_params() to ioc_refresh_params_disk()
