cfq-iosched: remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue()
Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a
valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue. As such, there
isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT
is set. GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do
the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary.
After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines
the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request
allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are
willing to wait. There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to
behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback
mechanism.
Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes
to its callers. This simplifies the function quite a bit and will
help making async queues per-cfq_group.
v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.
