[PATCH] block: avoid to fail elevator switch

[PATCH] block: avoid to fail elevator switch

[Ming Lei]

elevator switch can be done just between register_disk() and
blk_register_queue(), then we can't change elevator during this period
because FLAG_REGISTERED isn't set at that time.

One typical use case is that elevator is changed via udev by the following
rule, and the KOBJ_ADD uevent is just emited at the end of register_disk()
and before running blk_register_queue().

ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block" , KERNEL=="sda",  RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo none > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler'"

This patch fixes the elevator switch failure issue.

Fixes: e9a823fb34a8b0(block: fix warning when I/O elevator is changed as request_queue is being removed)
