block: row: Add some debug information on ROW queues

1. Add a counter for number of requests on queue.
2. Add function to print queues status (number requests
   currently on queue and number of already dispatched requests
   in current dispatch cycle).

block: row: Insert dispatch_quantum into struct row_queue

There is really no point in keeping the dispatch quantum
of a queue outside of it. By inserting it to the row_queue
structure we spare extra level in accessing it.

block: row: fix sysfs functions - idle_time conversion

idle_time was updated to be stored in msec instead of jiffies.
So there is no need to convert the value when reading from user or
displaying the value to him.

block: row: Aggregate row_queue parameters to one structure

Each ROW queues has several parameters which default values are defined
in separate arrays. This patch aggregates all default values into one
array.
The values in question are:
 - is idling enabled for the queue
 - queue quantum
 - can the queue notify on urgent request

block: row: Dispatch requests according to their io-priority

This patch implements "application-hints" which is a way the issuing
application can notify the scheduler on the priority of its request.
This is done by setting the io-priority of the request.
This patch reuses an already existing mechanism of io-priorities developed
for CFQ. Please refer to kernel/Documentation/block/ioprio.txt for
usage example and explanations.

block: row: Idling mechanism re-factoring

At the moment idling in ROW is implemented by delayed work that uses
jiffies granularity which is not very accurate. This patch replaces
current idling mechanism implementation with hrtime API, which gives
nanosecond resolution (instead of jiffies).

block: row: Don't notify URGENT if there are un-completed urgent req

When ROW scheduler reports to the block layer that there is an urgent
request pending, the device driver may decide to stop the transmission
of the current request in order to handle the urgent one. If the current
transmitted request is an urgent request - we don't want it to be
stopped.
Due to the above ROW scheduler won't notify of an urgent request if
there are urgent requests in flight.

block: row: Re-design urgent request notification mechanism

This patch updates the ROW URGENT notification policy to apply with the
bellow:
- Don't notify URGENT if there is an un-completed URGENT request in driver
- After notifying that URGENT request is present, the next request
  dispatched is the URGENT one.
- At every given moment only 1 request can be marked as URGENT.
  Independent of it's location (driver or scheduler)

Other changes to URGENT policy:
- Only queues that are allowed to notify of an URGENT request pending
are READ queues

block: row: Re-design urgent request notification mechanism

When ROW scheduler reports to the block layer that there is an urgent
request pending, the device driver may decide to stop the transmission
of the current request in order to handle the urgent one. This is done
in order to reduce the latency of an urgent request. For example:
long WRITE may be stopped to handle an urgent READ.

This patch updates the ROW URGENT notification policy to apply with the
below:

- Don't notify URGENT if there is an un-completed URGENT request in driver
- After notifying that URGENT request is present, the next request
  dispatched is the URGENT one.
- At every given moment only 1 request can be marked as URGENT.
  Independent of it's location (driver or scheduler)

Other changes to URGENT policy:
- Only READ queues are allowed to notify of an URGENT request pending.

CR fix:
If a pending urgent request (A) gets merged with another request (B)
A is removed from scheduler queue but is not removed from
rd->pending_urgent_rq.

block: add REQ_URGENT to request flags

This patch adds a new flag to be used in cmd_flags field of struct request
for marking request as urgent.
Urgent request is the one that should be given priority currently handled
(regular) request by the device driver. The decision of a request urgency
is taken by the scheduler.

there are HIGH priority requests to dispatch.
This patch prevents the above starvation by setting a starvation limit the
REGULAR\LOW priority requests can tolerate.

block: urgent request: Update dispatch_urgent in case of requeue/reinsert

The block layer implements a mechanism for verifying that the device
driver won't be notified of an URGENT request if there is already an
URGENT request in flight. This is due to the fact that interrupting an
URGENT request isn't efficient.
This patch fixes the above described mechanism in case the URGENT request
was returned back to the block layer from some reason: by requeue or
reinsert.
