device mapper is currently the only outlier that tries to call

device mapper needs to register holders before it is ready to do I/O.
Currently it does so by registering the disk early, which can leave
the disk and queue in a weird half state where the queue is registered
with the disk, except for sysfs and the elevator. And this state has
been a bit promlematic before, and will get more so when sorting out

instead by delaying the sysfs registration until the disk is registered.

loop: Select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk()
We noticed that the user interface of Android devices becomes very slow
under memory pressure. This is because Android uses the zram driver on top
of the loop driver for swapping, because under memory pressure the swap
code alternates reads and writes quickly, because mq-deadline is the
default scheduler for loop devices and because mq-deadline delays writes by
five seconds for such a workload with default settings. Fix this by making
the kernel select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk() for loop
devices. This default can be overridden at any time from user space,
e.g. via a udev rule. This approach has an advantage compared to changing
the I/O scheduler from userspace from 'mq-deadline' into 'none', namely
that synchronize_rcu() does not get called.
This patch changes the default I/O scheduler for loop devices from
'mq-deadline' into 'none'.
Additionally, this patch reduces the Android boot time on my test setup
with 0.5 seconds compared to configuring the loop I/O scheduler from user
space.

block: add a helper to raise a media changed event
Refactor disk_check_events() and move some code into disk_event_uevent().
Then add disk_force_media_change(), a helper which will be used by
devices to force issuing a DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE event.
Associating uevents with block devices in userspace is difficult and racy:
the uevent netlink socket is lossy, and on slow and overloaded systems
has a very high latency.
Block devices do not have exclusive owners in userspace, any process can
set one up (e.g. loop devices). Moreover, device names can be reused
(e.g. loop0 can be reused again and again). A userspace process setting
up a block device and watching for its events cannot thus reliably tell
whether an event relates to the device it just set up or another earlier
instance with the same name.
Being able to set a UUID on a loop device would solve the race conditions.
But it does not allow to derive orderings from uevents: if you see a
uevent with a UUID that does not match the device you are waiting for,
you cannot tell whether it's because the right uevent has not arrived yet,
or it was already sent and you missed it. So you cannot tell whether you
should wait for it or not.
Associating a unique, monotonically increasing sequential number to the
lifetime of each block device, which can be retrieved with an ioctl
immediately upon setting it up, allows to solve the race conditions with
uevents, and also allows userspace processes to know whether they should
wait for the uevent they need or if it was dropped and thus they should
move on.
Additionally, increment the disk sequence number when the media change,
i.e. on DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE event.
