ioprio works on the blk-cgroup level, all disks in the same cgroup

Hence register the policy is enough, because cpd_alloc/free_fn will
be handled for each blk-cgroup, and there is no need to activate the
policy for disk.
As one can see in the output of git grep -nHEB1 '>pd_(alloc|free)_fn\(',
none of the pd_alloc_fn / pd_free_fn callers checks whether or not these
pointers are NULL. Hence my question why this patch does not trigger any
NULL pointer dereferences?
Thanks,
