The insert_requests and dispatch_request elevator operations are mandatory for the correct execution of an elevator, and all implemented elevators (bfq, kyber and mq-deadline) implement them. As a result, there is no need to check for these operations before calling them when a queue has an elevator set. This simplifies the code in __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() and blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). To avoid out-of-tree elevators to crash the kernel in case of bad implementation, add a check in elv_register() to verify that these operations are implemented. A small, probably not significant, IOPS improvement of 0.1% is observed with this patch applied (4.117 MIOPS to 4.123 MIOPS, average of 20 fio runs doing 4K random direct reads with psync and 32 jobs).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
