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: 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.

tmpfs: fix use-after-free of mempolicy object

The tmpfs remount logic preserves filesystem mempolicy if the mpol=M
option is not specified in the remount request.  A new policy can be
specified if mpol=M is given.

Before this patch remounting an mpol bound tmpfs without specifying
mpol= mount option in the remount request would set the filesystem's
mempolicy object to a freed mempolicy object.

To reproduce the problem boot a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel and run:
    # mkdir /tmp/x

    # mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mpol=interleave nodev /tmp/x

    # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts
    nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=102400k,mpol=interleave:0-3 0 0

    # mount -o remount,size=200M nodev /tmp/x

    # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts
    nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=204800k,mpol=??? 0 0
        # note ? garbage in mpol=... output above

    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/x/f count=1
        # panic here

Non-debug kernels will not crash immediately because referencing the
dangling mpol will not cause a fault.  Instead the filesystem will
reference a freed mempolicy object, which will cause unpredictable
behavior.

The problem boils down to a dropped mpol reference below if
shmem_parse_options() does not allocate a new mpol:
    config = *sbinfo
    shmem_parse_options(data, &config, true)
    mpol_put(sbinfo->mpol)
    sbinfo->mpol = config.mpol  /* BUG: saves unreferenced mpol */
This patch avoids the crash by not releasing the mempolicy if
shmem_parse_options() doesn't create a new mpol.

How far back does this issue go?  I see it in both 2.6.36 and 3.3.  I
did not look back further.

tmpfs: fix mempolicy object leaks

This patch fixes several mempolicy leaks in the tmpfs mount logic.
These leaks are slow - on the order of one object leaked per mount
attempt.

Leak 1 (umount doesn't free mpol allocated in mount):
    while true; do
        mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
        umount /mnt
    done

Leak 2 (errors parsing remount options will leak mpol):
    mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M nodev /mnt
    while true; do
        mount -o remount,mpol=interleave,size=x /mnt 2> /dev/null
    done
    umount /mnt

Leak 3 (multiple mpol per mount leak mpol):
    while true; do
        mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
        umount /mnt
    done

This patch fixes all of the above.  I could have broken the patch into
three pieces but is seemed easier to review as one.
