Subject: [PATCH V2] block: Fix elevator_get_default() to check for null q->tag_set

Fix error "block/elevator.c:569 elevator_get_default() error:
we previously assumed 'q->tag_set' could be null (see line 565)".
Since 'q->tag_set' cannot be NULL for blk-mq queues,
remove the unnecessary check in both `elevator_get_default`
and `elv_support_iosched`. This simplifies the logic and
ensures correct assumptions about 'q->tag_set' in blk-mq queues.

Signed-off-by: SurajSonawane2415 <surajsonawane0215@...il.com>
---
V1 -> V2:
- Remove unnecessary `q->tag_set` check in `elv_support_iosched` function.
- Remove `q->tag_set` check because blk-mq queues always have a valid tag set.
