cfq-iosched: get rid of the need for __GFP_NOFAIL in cfq_find_alloc_queue()
Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init
time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just
punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue()
never fails without having to ensure free memory.
On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io
context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily
punt to this shared queue.
