blkio: Implement dynamic io controlling policy registration
o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
higher level in storage hierarchy.
o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
CFQ is compiled as module.
o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.
o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
can dynakically register with block IO controller.
