Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.
