This sample demonstrates how to use blk_interposer.
It show how to properly connect the interposer module to kernel,
and perform the simplest monitoring of the number of bio.

This attach and detach code needs to be elevated out of samples so that
any future consumer of blk_interposer doesn't reinvent it.  It is far
too fundamental.

The way you've proposed this be merged is very much unacceptable.

Yes, but on the other hand, while the queue is suspended, the module can perform
some other actions specific to it.

And since the functions blk_mq_freeze_queue(), blk_mq_quiesce_queue(),
blk_mq_unquiesce_queue() and blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() are public,
the module creator can implement its module connection functionality regardless of
whether we make the functions blk_interposer_attach() and blk_interposer_detach()
in the kernel or not.

I'll think about it and try to come up with a better solution.

This practice of sprinkling code in samples/ subdir and getting a
minimalist hook into the kernel (with no actual in-kernel consumer) is
_not_ how we do things.

I'm not well-versed on the samples/ subdir nor when it came into
existence; but it should die in a fire!
