block: fix default IO priority handling again
Commit e70344c05995 ("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 5a9d041ba2f6 ("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
e70344c05995 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 e70344c05995. 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.
