Add new helper disable_elv_switch() and new flag QUEUE_FLAG_NO_ELV_SWITCH
for disabling elevator switch before deleting disk:
- originally flag QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED is added for preventing elevator
switch during removing disk, but this flag has been used widely for
other purposes, so add one new flag for disabling elevator switch only
- for avoiding deadlock risk, we have to move elevator queue
register/unregister out of elevator lock and queue freeze, which will be
done in next patch. However, this way adds small race window between elevator
switch and deleting ->queue_kobj, in which elevator queue register/unregister
could be run concurrently. The added helper will be used for avoiding the race
in the following patch.
- drain in-progress elevator switch before deleting disk
