Various block layer files do not have any licensing information at all.
Add SPDX tags for the default kernel GPLv2 license to those.

This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core
front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining,
initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything
related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.

Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.

Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.

923218f6166a ("blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq")

<title>block: introduce new block status code type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2a842acab109f40f0d7d10b38e9ca88390628996</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

The function only returns -EIO if rq-&gt;errors is non-zero, which is not
very useful and lets a large number of callers ignore the return value.

Just let the callers figure out their error themselves.

This can be used to check for fs vs non-fs requests and basically
removes all knowledge of BLOCK_PC specific from the block layer,
as well as preparing for removing the cmd_type field in struct request.

And require all drivers that want to support BLOCK_PC to allocate it
as the first thing of their private data.  To support this the legacy
IDE and BSG code is switched to set cmd_size on their queues to let
the block layer allocate the additional space.

Instead of letting the caller check this and handle the details
of inserting a flush request, put the logic in the scheduler
insertion function. This fixes direct flush insertion outside
of the usual make_request_fn calls, like from dm via
blk_insert_cloned_request().

<title>blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers</title>

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
us to develop a scheduler within that framework.

We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.

We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.
