When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) doesn't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.
Fix the issue by returning ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE in this situation,
so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.

device mapper is currently the only outlier that tries to call
register_disk after add_disk, leading to fairly inconsistent state
of these block layer data structures. Instead change device-mapper
to just register the gendisk later now that the holder mechanism
can cope with that.
Note that this introduces a user visible change: the dm kobject is
now only visible after the initial table has been loaded.

device mapper needs to register holders before it is ready to do I/O.
Currently it does so by registering the disk early, which can leave
the disk and queue in a weird half state where the queue is registered
with the disk, except for sysfs and the elevator. And this state has
been a bit promlematic before, and will get more so when sorting out
the responsibilities between the queue and the disk.
Support registering holders on an initialized but not registered disk
instead by delaying the sysfs registration until the disk is registered.

Move the block holder code into a separate file as it is not in any way
related to the other block_dev.c code, and add a new selectable config
option for it so that we don't have to build it without any remapped
drivers selected.
The Kconfig symbol contains a _DEPRECATED suffix to match the comments
added in commit 49731baa41
("block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support").

We noticed that the user interface of Android devices becomes very slow
under memory pressure. This is because Android uses the zram driver on top
of the loop driver for swapping, because under memory pressure the swap
code alternates reads and writes quickly, because mq-deadline is the
default scheduler for loop devices and because mq-deadline delays writes by
five seconds for such a workload with default settings. Fix this by making
the kernel select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk() for loop
devices. This default can be overridden at any time from user space,
e.g. via a udev rule. This approach has an advantage compared to changing
the I/O scheduler from userspace from 'mq-deadline' into 'none', namely
that synchronize_rcu() does not get called.
This patch changes the default I/O scheduler for loop devices from
'mq-deadline' into 'none'.
Additionally, this patch reduces the Android boot time on my test setup
with 0.5 seconds compared to configuring the loop I/O scheduler from user
space.

elevator_get_default() uses the following algorithm to select an I/O
scheduler from inside add_disk():
- In case of a single hardware queue or if sharing hardware queues across
multiple request queues (BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED), use mq-deadline.
- Otherwise, use 'none'.
This is a good choice for most but not for all block drivers. Make it
possible to override the selection of mq-deadline with a new flag,
namely BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED_BY_DEFAULT.

In block/blk-mq-sysfs.c, struct blk_mq_ctx_sysfs_entry is not used to
define any attribute since the "mq" sysfs directory contains only
sub-directories (no attribute files). As a result, blk_mq_sysfs_show(),
blk_mq_sysfs_store(), and struct sysfs_ops blk_mq_sysfs_ops are all
unused and unnecessary. Remove all this unused code.

Associating uevents with block devices in userspace is difficult and racy:
the uevent netlink socket is lossy, and on slow and overloaded systems
has a very high latency.
Block devices do not have exclusive owners in userspace, any process can
set one up (e.g. loop devices). Moreover, device names can be reused
(e.g. loop0 can be reused again and again). A userspace process setting
up a block device and watching for its events cannot thus reliably tell
whether an event relates to the device it just set up or another earlier
instance with the same name.
Being able to set a UUID on a loop device would solve the race conditions.
But it does not allow to derive orderings from uevents: if you see a
uevent with a UUID that does not match the device you are waiting for,
you cannot tell whether it's because the right uevent has not arrived yet,
or it was already sent and you missed it. So you cannot tell whether you
should wait for it or not.
Associating a unique, monotonically increasing sequential number to the
lifetime of each block device, which can be retrieved with an ioctl
immediately upon setting it up, allows to solve the race conditions with
uevents, and also allows userspace processes to know whether they should
wait for the uevent they need or if it was dropped and thus they should
move on.
Additionally, increment the disk sequence number when the media change,
i.e. on DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE event.

Instead of acquiring an inode reference on open make sure partitions
always hold device model references to the disk while alive, and switch
open to grab only a device model reference to the opened block device.
If that is a partition the disk reference is transitively held by the
partition already.
