After bio splitting is introduced, one bio can be splitted
and it is marked as NOMERGE because it is too fat to be merged,
so check bio_mergeable() earlier to avoid to try to merge it
unnecessarily.

Pull core block IO update from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing really major in here, mostly a collection of smaller
  optimizations and cleanups, mixed with various fixes.  In more detail,
  this contains:

   - Addition of policy specific data to blkcg for block cgroups.  From
     Arianna Avanzini.

   - Various cleanups around command types from Christoph.

   - Cleanup of the suspend block I/O path from Christoph.

   - Plugging updates from Shaohua and Jeff Moyer, for blk-mq.

   - Eliminating atomic inc/dec of both remaining IO count and reference
     count in a bio.  From me.

   - Fixes for SG gap and chunk size support for data-less (discards)
     IO, so we can merge these better.  From me.

   - Small restructuring of blk-mq shared tag support, freeing drivers
     from iterating hardware queues.  From Keith Busch.

   - A few cfq-iosched tweaks, from Tahsin Erdogan and me.  Makes the
     IOPS mode the default for non-rotational storage"

* 'for-4.2/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (35 commits)
  cfq-iosched: fix other locations where blkcg_to_cfqgd() can return NULL
  cfq-iosched: fix sysfs oops when attempting to read unconfigured weights

A previous commit wanted to make CFQ default to IOPS mode on
non-rotational storage, however it did so when the queue was
initialized and the non-rotational flag is only set later on
in the probe.

Add an elevator hook that gets called off the add_disk() path,
at that point we know that feature probing has finished, and
we can reliably check for the various flags that drivers can
set.

while compiling integer err was showing as a set but unused variable.
elevator_init_fn can be either cfq_init_queue or deadline_init_queue
or noop_init_queue.
all three of these functions are returning -ENOMEM if they fail to
allocate the queue.
so we should actually be returning the error code rather than
returning 0 always.

This reverts commit b5097e956a4d2919ee248d6481e4204c5568ed5c.

The original commit is buggy, we do use the registration functions
