dm: do not initialise full request queue when bio based
Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized
request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM
devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree
or 'scheduler' other than "none").
In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full
request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore
a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs
attributes exist.
First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device
(needed for both bio and request-based DM).
Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known
that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load
sequence.
Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().
The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to
md->type, during table_load().
A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type.
But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time
(because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore
any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of
establishing md->type.
