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: Correct minimum values of ROW tunable parameters

The ROW scheduling algorithm exposes several tunable parameters.

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: 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.

   HZ dependent (instead of using msec_to_jiffies())

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.

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.

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.

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.
