block: Remove unnecessary elevator operation checks
The insert_requests and dispatch_request elevator operations are mandatory for the correct execution of an elevator, and all implemented elevators (bfq, kyber and mq-deadline) implement them. As a result, there is no need to check for these operations before calling them when a queue has an elevator set. This simplifies the code in __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() and blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). To avoid out-of-tree elevators to crash the kernel in case of bad implementation, add a check in elv_register() to verify that these operations are implemented. A small, probably not significant, IOPS improvement of 0.1% is observed with this patch applied (4.117 MIOPS to 4.123 MIOPS, average of 20 fio runs doing 4K random direct reads with psync and 32 jobs).
