IMHO, I don't think this is a layering violation. bio_set_ioprio is
the one which introduces the scheduler thing into the block layer,
this commit just wants to do a little improvement based on that. This
commit helps CFS task save some IO time when preempted by RT heavily.

PS: [PATCHv9 1/1] block: introduce content activity based ioprio has
solved layering violation issue. Could you please have a look.
