block: introduce the BFQ-v6 I/O sched for 3.4

Add the BFQ-v6 I/O scheduler to 3.4.
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.

block: Adding ROW scheduling algorithm

This patch adds the implementation of a new scheduling algorithm - ROW.
The policy of this algorithm is to prioritize READ requests over WRITE
as much as possible without starving the WRITE requests.

block: ROW: Fix forced dispatch

This patch fixes forced dispatch in the ROW scheduling algorithm.
When the dispatch function is called with the forced flag on, we
can't delay the dispatch of the requests that are in scheduler queues.
Thus, when dispatch is called with forced turned on, we need to cancel
idling, or not to idle at all.

block:row: fix idling mechanism in ROW

This patch addresses the following issues found in the ROW idling
mechanism:
1. Fix the delay passed to queue_delayed_work (pass actual delay
   and not the time when to start the work)
2. Change the idle time and the idling-trigger frequency to be
   HZ dependent (instead of using msec_to_jiffies())
3. Destroy idle_workqueue() in queue_exit

row: Add support for urgent request handling

This patch adds support for handling urgent requests.
ROW queue can be marked as "urgent" so if it was un-served in last
dispatch cycle and a request was added to it - it will trigger
issuing an urgent-request-notification to the block device driver.
The block device driver may choose at stop the transmission of current
ongoing request to handle the urgent one. Foe example: long WRITE may
be stopped to handle an urgent READ. This decreases READ latency.

block: Add support for reinsert a dispatched req

Add support for reinserting a dispatched request back to the
scheduler's internal data structures.
This capability is used by the device driver when it chooses to
interrupt the current request transmission and execute another (more
urgent) pending request. For example: interrupting long write in order
to handle pending read. The device driver re-inserts the
remaining write request back to the scheduler, to be rescheduled
for transmission later on.

Add API for verifying whether the current scheduler
supports reinserting requests mechanism. If reinsert mechanism isn't
supported by the scheduler, this code path will never be activated.

block: Add API for urgent request handling

This patch add support in block & elevator layers for handling
urgent requests. The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken
by the scheduler. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying
block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to
interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new
urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write
collision scenarios.

Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request
mechanism, this code path is never activated.

cpufreq: interactive: keep freezer happy when not current governor

Fix a problem where the hung task mechanism was deeming the interactive
clock boost thread as hung.  This was because the thread is created at
module init but never run/woken up until needed.  If the governor is not
being used this can be forever.  To workaround this explicitly wake up
the thread once all the necessary data structures are initialized.  The
latter required some minor code shuffle.
