block: introduce alloc_sched_data and free_sched_data elevator methods

Browse Source 
The recent lockdep splat [1] highlights a potential deadlock risk
involving ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock dependencies on -pcpu_alloc_
mutex. The trace shows that the issue occurs when the Kyber scheduler
allocates dynamic memory for its elevator data during initialization.

To address this, introduce two new elevator operation callbacks:
->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data. The subsequent patch would
build upon these newly introduced methods to suppress lockdep splat[1].
