If the default elevator chosen is mq-deadline, elevator_init_mq() may return an error if mq-deadline initialization fails, leading to blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() returning an error, which in turn will cause the block device initialization to fail and the device not being exposed. Instead of taking such extreme measure, handle mq-deadline initialization failures in the same manner as when mq-deadline is not available (no module to load), that is, default to the "none" scheduler. With this change, elevator_init_mq() return type can be changed to void.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
