	Convert blk-ioprio handling from a rqos policy to a direct call from blk_mq_submit_bio(). Firstly, blk-ioprio is not much of a rqos policy anyway, it just needs a hook in bio submission path to set the bio's IO priority. Secondly, the rqos .track hook gets actually called too late for blk-ioprio purposes and introducing a special rqos hook just for blk-ioprio looks even weirder.

2021-06-21	block: Introduce the ioprio rq-qos policy	Bart Van Assche
	Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following advantages over the ioprio_set() system call: - This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups. - While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O.
