mm: pass readahead info down to the i/o scheduler

Some i/o schedulers (i.e. row-iosched, cfq-iosched) deploy an idling
algorithm in order to be better synced with the readahead algorithm.
Idling is a prediction algorithm for incoming read requests.

In this patch we mark pages which are part of a readahead window, by
setting a newly introduced flag. With this flag, the i/o scheduler can
identify a request which is associated with a readahead page. This
enables the i/o scheduler's idling mechanism to be en-sync with the
readahead mechanism and, in turn, can increase read throughput.

The request will be reinserted back to the queue (head) it was

ROW queue can be marked as "urgent". If an urgent queue was
un-served in a previous dispatch cycle and a request was added
to it - it will trigger issuing urgent request to the device driver.

 - 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.

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

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: row-iosched idling triggered by readahead pages

In the current implementation idling is triggered only by request
insertion frequency. This heuristic is not very accurate and may hit
random requests that shouldn't trigger idling. This patch uses the
PG_readahead flag in struct page's flags, which indicates that the page
is part of a readahead window, to start idling upon dispatch of a request
associated with a readahead page.

The above readehead flag is used together with the existing
insertion-frequency trigger. The frequency timer will catch read requests
which are not part of a readahead window, but are still part of a
sequential stream (and therefore dispatched in small time intervals).
