blk-mq: Introduce the BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED_BY_DEFAULT flag

elevator_get_default() uses the following algorithm to select an I/O
scheduler from inside add_disk():
- In case of a single hardware queue or if sharing hardware queues across
  multiple request queues (BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED), use mq-deadline.
- Otherwise, use 'none'.

This is a good choice for most but not for all block drivers. Make it
possible to override the selection of mq-deadline with a new flag,
namely BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED_BY_DEFAULT.
