[v2,0/6] Improve I/O priority handling

Message

This small series based on for-4.21/block brings improvements to I/O priority
hanlding. The main fixes are in patches 5, 6 and 7. These fix BIO and request
I/O priority initialization for both the synchronous and asynchronous pathes.

Changes from v1:
* Removed not very useful comments in patch 5
* Dropped get_task_ioprio() change patch

Damien Le Moal (6):
  aio: Comment use of IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO aio flag
  block: Remove bio->bi_ioc
  block: Introduce get_current_ioprio()
  aio: Fix fallback I/O priority value
  block: prevent merging of requests with different priorities
  block: Initialize BIO I/O priority early
