[PATCH] block: Flag elevators suitable for single queue

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Kyber block scheduler is not suitable for single hardware
queue devices, so add a new flag for single hardware queue
devices and add that to the deadline and BFQ schedulers
so the Kyber scheduler will not be selected for single queue
devices.

Deadline and BFQ are applicable to single HW queues so flag
each of these as single HW queue-friendly.
