block: Improve default elevator selection
For block devices that do not specify required features, preserve the current default elevator selection (mq-deadline for single queue devices, none for multi-queue devices). However, for devices specifying required features (e.g. zoned block devices ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE feature), select the first available elevator providing the required features. In all cases, default to "none" if no elevator is available or if the initialization of the default elevator fails.
