Recently, there were some extra "dummy" data added into mq-deadline
rq->elv.priv, that was there for the solve purpose of working around
shortcomings in blk-mq (which called the scheduler callbacks even
for requests that bypassed the scheduler).

Fix blk-mq to behave in a more sane way with regards to scheduler
callback triggering, and remove the now unneeded rq->elv.priv magic.

BFQ should be able to perform a similar cleanup, and should be able
to drop this comment from the code:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/block/bfq-iosched.c#L6456-L6462

Considering that I'm quite unfamiliar with the BFQ code, I'd rather
someone who is a bit more familiar with BFQ performs that cleanup.


Kind regards,
Niklas
