The only elevator feature ever implemented is ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE
for signaling that a scheduler implements zone write locking to tightly
control the dispatching order of write operations to zoned block
devices. With the removal of zone write locking support in mq-deadline
and the reliance of all block device drivers on the block layer zone
write plugging to control ordering of write operations to zones, the
elevator feature ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE is completely unused.
Remove it, and also remove the now unused code for filtering the
possible schedulers for a block device based on required features.

Chuck reported [1] an IO hang problem on NFS exports that reside on SATA
devices and bisected to commit 615939a2ae ("blk-mq: defer to the normal
submission path for post-flush requests").
We analysed the IO hang problem, found there are two postflush requests
waiting for each other.
The first postflush request completed the REQ_FSEQ_DATA sequence, so go to
the REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH sequence and added in the flush pending list, but
failed to blk_kick_flush() because of the second postflush request which
is inflight waiting in scheduler queue.
The second postflush waiting in scheduler queue can't be dispatched because
the first postflush hasn't released scheduler resource even though it has
completed by itself.
Fix it by releasing scheduler resource when the first postflush request
completed, so the second postflush can be dispatched and completed, then
make blk_kick_flush() succeed.
While at it, remove the check for e->ops.finish_request, as all
schedulers set that. Reaffirm this requirement by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE()
at scheduler registration time, just like we do for insert_requests and
dispatch_request.

The current reference management logic of io scheduler modules contains
refcnt problems. For example, blk_mq_init_sched may fail before or after
the calling of e->ops.init_sched. If it fails before the calling, it does
nothing to the reference to the io scheduler module. But if it fails after
the calling, it releases the reference by calling kobject_put(&eq->kobj).
As the callers of blk_mq_init_sched can't know exactly where the failure
happens, they can't handle the reference to the io scheduler module
properly: releasing the reference on failure results in double-release if
blk_mq_init_sched has released it, and not releasing the reference results
in ghost reference if blk_mq_init_sched did not release it either.
The same problem also exists in io schedulers' init_sched implementations.
We can address the problem by adding releasing statements to the error
handling procedures of blk_mq_init_sched and init_sched implementations.
But that is counterintuitive and requires modifications to existing io
schedulers.
Instead, We make elevator_alloc get the io scheduler module references
that will be released by elevator_release. And then, we match each
elevator_get with an elevator_put. Therefore, each reference to an io
scheduler module explicitly has its own getter and releaser, and we no
longer need to worry about the refcnt problems.
The bugs and the patch can be validated with tools here:

The hctx's run_work may be racing with the elevator switch when
reinitializing hardware queues. The queue is merely frozen in this
context, but that only prevents requests from allocating and doesn't
stop the hctx work from running. The work may get an elevator pointer
that's being torn down, and can result in use-after-free errors and
kernel panics (example below). Use the quiesced elevator switch instead,
and make the previous one static since it is now only used locally.

Now that we disable wbt by set WBT_STATE_OFF_DEFAULT in
wbt_disable_default() when switch elevator to bfq. And when
we remove scsi device, wbt will be enabled by wbt_enable_default.
If it become false positive between wbt_wait() and wbt_track()
when submit write request.
The following is the scenario that triggered the problem.
T1 T2 T3
elevator_switch_mq
bfq_init_queue
wbt_disable_default <= Set

Submit_bio
blk_mq_make_request

lead to drop rqw->inflight to -1 in wbt_done() which will trigger IO hung.
Fix this by move wbt_enable_default() from elv_unregister to

- In case of a single hardware queue or if sharing hardware queues across

- Otherwise, use 'none'.

The insert_requests and dispatch_request elevator operations are
mandatory for the correct execution of an elevator, and all implemented
elevators (bfq, kyber and mq-deadline) implement them. As a result,
there is no need to check for these operations before calling them when
a queue has an elevator set. This simplifies the code in
__blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() and blk_mq_sched_insert_request().
To avoid out-of-tree elevators to crash the kernel in case of bad
implementation, add a check in elv_register() to verify that these
operations are implemented.
