Hou Tao ddf63516d8 blk-ioprio: Introduce promote-to-rt policy
Since commit a78418e6a0 ("block: Always initialize bio IO priority on
submit"), bio->bi_ioprio will never be IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE when calling
blkcg_set_ioprio(), so there will be no way to promote the io-priority
of one cgroup to IOPRIO_CLASS_RT, because bi_ioprio will always be
greater than or equals to IOPRIO_CLASS_RT.

It seems possible to call blkcg_set_ioprio() first then try to
initialize bi_ioprio later in bio_set_ioprio(), but this doesn't work
for bio in which bi_ioprio is already initialized (e.g., direct-io), so
introduce a new promote-to-rt policy to promote the iopriority of bio to
IOPRIO_CLASS_RT if the ioprio is not already RT.

For none-to-rt policy, although it doesn't work now, but considering
that its purpose was also to override the io-priority to RT and allowing
for a smoother transition, just keep it and treat it as an alias of
the promote-to-rt policy.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
