block: fix default IO priority handling

The default IO priority is the best effort (BE) class with the
normal priority level IOPRIO_NORM (4). However, get_task_ioprio()
returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/IOPRIO_NORM as the default priority and
get_current_ioprio() returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/0. Let's be consistent
with the defined default and have both of these functions return the
default priority IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_NORM) when
the user did not define another default IO priority for the task.

In include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h, introduce the IOPRIO_BE_NORM macro as
an alias to IOPRIO_NORM to clarify that this default level applies to
the BE priotity class. In include/linux/ioprio.h, define the macro
IOPRIO_DEFAULT as IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_BE_NORM)
and use this new macro when setting a priority to the default.
