[BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detection

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching.  elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error
message if it doesn't.  As buggy forced dispatching can result in
wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.
