While inspecting the queue_rq calling sites, I verified that blk_mq_start_request calls blk_mq_sched_started_request, and this function checks if the elevator of the current request implements the started_request, but currently none of the available IO schedulers do. So, let's remove blk_mq_sched_started_request along with started_request, which is member of the elevator_mq_ops struct.
