When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(),
the only information known about the device is the number of hardware
queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed
yet. The device type and the device required features are not set yet,
preventing to correctly choose the default elevator most suitable for
the device.
This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default
to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator.
These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a
smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled.
Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected.
Fix this by moving the execution of elevator_init_mq() from
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() into __device_add_disk() to allow for the
device driver to probe the device characteristics and set attributes
of the device request queue prior to the elevator initialization. This
initialization is skipped for DM devices using
device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() as this also skips the queue
registration.
Additionally, to make sure that the elevator initialization is never
done while requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device
driver calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request
queue before calling blk_mq_init_sched() in elevator_init_mq().
