Hello Jan,

How about using positive logic to enable WBT, e.g. as follows? Wouldn't
that make the code easier to read?

	if ((IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_WBT_MQ) && q->mq_ops) ||
	    (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_WBT_SQ) && q->request_fn))
		wbt_init(q);

This approach is not suited for blk-mq because with blk-mq "none" means no
scheduler and hence no struct elevator_type. Please consider not to add any
elevator_registered_fn() callbacks to noop and deadline but instead to call
wbt_enable_default() from elv_unregister_queue().

Thanks,

Bart.
