block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctx

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 232143b605 ]

Currently, the nr_hw_queues update path manages two disjoint xarrays —
one for elevator tags and another for elevator type — both used during
elevator switching. Maintaining these two parallel structures for the
same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched
state.

This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct
elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A
single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset
to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator
tags, type and name references.

This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and
clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.
