Revert "Added BFQv5 I/O Scheduler"

This reverts commit a1889e6f9f0d774835da278191124d89b9acc783.
added BFQ-v6 i/o scheduler

** This is a combination of 3 commits.
** The first commit's message is:
block: prepare I/O context code for BFQ-v6 for 3.0

BFQ uses struct cfq_io_context to store its per-process per-device data,
reusing the same code for cic handling of CFQ.  The code is not shared
ATM to minimize the impact of these patches.

This patch introduces a new hlist to each io_context to store all the
cic's allocated by BFQ to allow calling the right destructor on module
unload; the radix tree used for cic lookup needs to be duplicated
because it can contain dead keys inserted by a scheduler and later
retrieved by the other one.

Update the io_context exit and free paths to take care also of
the BFQ cic's.

Change the type of cfqq inside struct cfq_io_context to void *
to use it also for BFQ per-queue data.

A new bfq-specific ioprio_changed field is necessary, too, to avoid
clobbering cfq's one, so switch ioprio_changed to a bitmap, with one
element per scheduler.

block: cgroups, kconfig, build bits for BFQ-v6-3.0

Add a Kconfig option and do the related Makefile changes to compile
the BFQ I/O scheduler.  Also add the bfqio controller to the cgroups
subsystem.

block: introduce the BFQ-v6 I/O sched for 3.0

Add the BFQ-v6 I/O scheduler to 3.0.
The general structure is borrowed from CFQ, as much code. A (bfq_)queue is
associated to each task doing I/O on a device, and each time a scheduling
decision has to be made a queue is selected and served until it expires.

    - Slices are given in the service domain: tasks are assigned budgets,
      measured in number of sectors. Once got the disk, a task must
      however consume its assigned budget within a configurable maximum time
      (by default, the maximum possible value of the budgets is automatically
      computed to comply with this timeout). This allows the desired latency
      vs "throughput boosting" tradeoff to be set.

    - Budgets are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, implemented
      using an augmented rb-tree to take eligibility into account while
      preserving an O(log N) overall complexity.

    - A low-latency tunable is provided; if enabled, both interactive and soft
      real-time applications are guaranteed very low latency.

    - Latency guarantees are preserved also in presence of NCQ.

    - Also with flash-based devices, a high throughput is achieved while
      still preserving latency guarantees.

    - A useful feature borrowed from CFQ: static fallback queue for OOM.

    - Differently from CFQ, BFQ uses a unified mechanism (Early Queue Merge,
      EQM) to get a sequential read pattern, and hence a high throughput,
      with any set of processes performing interleaved I/O. EQM also
      preserves low latency. The code for detecting whether two queues have
      to be merged is a slightly modified version of the CFQ code for
      detecting whether two queues belong to cooperating processes and whether
      the service of a queue should be preempted to boost the throughput.

    - BFQ supports full hierarchical scheduling, exporting a cgroups
      interface.  Each node has a full scheduler, so each group can
      be assigned its own ioprio (mapped to a weight, see next point)
      and an ioprio_class.

    - If the cgroups interface is used, weights can be explictly assigned,
      otherwise ioprio values are mapped to weights using the relation
      weight = IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio.

    - ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e., lower
      priority queues are not served as long as there are higher priority
      queues.  Among queues in the same class the bandwidth is distributed
      in proportion to the weight of each queue. A very thin extra bandwidth
      is however guaranteed to the Idle class, to prevent it from starving.

Allow CPU Based Alignment Handling

Advanced ARM processors, such as the Cortex series and ARMv7-based
CPUS are capable of performing unaligned accesses for many types of
memory accesses.  Typically, using a cpu-based alignment fixup is
faster than doing such a fixup in software.
