In include/usapi/linux/ioprio.h, change the ioprio class enum comment
to remove the outdated reference to CFQ and mention BFQ and mq-deadline
instead. Also document the high priority NCQ command use for RT class
IOs directed at ATA drives that support NCQ priority.

For a request that has a priority level equal to or larger than
IOPRIO_BE_NR, bfq_set_next_ioprio_data() prints a critical warning but
defaults to setting the request new_ioprio field to IOPRIO_BE_NR. This
is not consistent with the warning and the allowed values for priority
levels. Fix this by setting the request new_ioprio field to
IOPRIO_BE_NR - 1, the lowest priority level allowed.

inode_detach_wb references the "main" bdi of the inode. With the
recent change to move the bdi from the request_queue to the gendisk
this causes a guaranteed use after free when using certain cgroup
configurations. The big itself is older through as any non-default
inode reference (e.g. an open file descriptor) could have injected
this use after free even before that.

After patch 54efd50 (block: make generic_make_request handle
arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger,
and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However,
IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which
makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting
in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should
fix this problem.
We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set
blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio
and use iostat to watch IOPS:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct
As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with
this change the IOPS is 98.

Partition scanning only happens on the whole device, so pass a
struct gendisk instead of the whole device block_device to the scanners.
This allows to simplify printing the device name in various places as the
disk name is available in disk->name.

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.
