init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot 



This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.

This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK.  Reported by kbuild test
    robot.
