[RFC PATCH 10/11] block: add poll_capable method to support bio-based IO polling

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

From: Jeffle Xu <jefflexu@linux.alibaba.com>

This method can be used to check if bio-based device supports IO polling
or not. For mq devices, checking for hw queue in polling mode is
adequate, while the sanity check shall be implementation specific for
bio-based devices. For example, dm device needs to check if all
underlying devices are capable of IO polling.

Though bio-based device may have done the sanity check during the
device initialization phase, cacheing the result of this sanity check
(such as by cacheing in the queue_flags) may not work. Because for dm
devices, users could change the state of the underlying devices through
'/sys/block/<dev>/io_poll', bypassing the dm device above. In this case,
the cached result of the very beginning sanity check could be
out-of-date. Thus the sanity check needs to be done every time 'io_poll'
is to be modified.
