Tejun Heo aaf7c68068 block: fix elvpriv allocation failure handling ...

Request allocation is mempool backed to guarantee forward progress
under memory pressure; unfortunately, this property got broken while
adding elvpriv data.  Failures during elvpriv allocation, including
ioc and icq creation failures, currently make get_request() fail as
whole.  There's no forward progress guarantee for these allocations -
they may fail indefinitely under memory pressure stalling IO and
deadlocking the system.

This patch updates get_request() such that elvpriv allocation failure
doesn't make the whole function fail.  If elvpriv allocation fails,
the allocation is degraded into !ELVPRIV.  This will force the request
to ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK disturbing scheduling but elvpriv alloc
failures should be rare (nothing is per-request) and anything is
better than deadlocking.
