[PATCH v3 2/7] block: Change elevator_init_mq() to always succeed

[Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com>]

If the default elevator chosen is mq-deadline, elevator_init_mq() may
return an error if mq-deadline initialization fails, leading to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() returning an error, which in turn will
cause the block device initialization to fail and the device not being
exposed.

Instead of taking such extreme measure, handle mq-deadline
initialization failures in the same manner as when mq-deadline is not
available (no module to load), that is, default to the "none" scheduler.
With this change, elevator_init_mq() return type can be changed to void.
