This reverts commit db54facd56a40e7766bf7f7cda1ae138e72a691c which was commit a4e84aae8139aca9fbfbced1f45c51ca81b57488 upstream. Ben writes: MQ IO schedulers were introduced in 4.11, so this shouldn't be needed in older branches. It also causes a performance regression (fixed upstream). Please revert this for 4.4 and 4.9. So let's revert it!
