block: fix default IO priority handling again
Commit e70344c0 ("block: fix default IO priority handling") introduced an inconsistency in get_current_ioprio() that tasks without IO context return IOPRIO_DEFAULT priority while tasks with freshly allocated IO context will return 0 (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/0) IO priority. Tasks without IO context used to be rare before 5a9d041b ("block: move io_context creation into where it's needed") but after this commit they became common because now only BFQ IO scheduler setups task's IO context. Similar inconsistency is there for get_task_ioprio() so this inconsistency is now exposed to userspace and userspace will see different IO priority for tasks operating on devices with BFQ compared to devices without BFQ. Furthemore the changes done by commit e70344c0 change the behavior when no IO priority is set for BFQ IO scheduler which is also documented in ioprio_set(2) manpage: "If no I/O scheduler has been set for a thread, then by default the I/O priority will follow the CPU nice value (setpriority(2)). In Linux kernels before version 2.6.24, once an I/O priority had been set using ioprio_set(), there was no way to reset the I/O scheduling behavior to the default. Since Linux 2.6.24, specifying ioprio as 0 can be used to reset to the default I/O scheduling behavior." So make sure we default to IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE as used to be the case before commit e70344c0. Also cleanup alloc_io_context() to explicitely set this IO priority for the allocated IO context to avoid future surprises. Note that we tweak ioprio_best() to maintain ioprio_get(2) behavior and make this commit easily backportable.
