This looks generally good, but also a bit hard to follow.

Notes:

 - mq-deadline refers to blk_mq_rq_ctx_init in a comment that needs
   to be updated or removed.
 - blk_mq_rq_time_init is always called right next to
   blk_mq_set_rq_sched.  Should these be comined in a single late
   init helper?
 - AFAICS the op_is_flush check removal is enabled by this, but not
   required, so maybe move it in a well-documened follow on patch?
