"Switch IO scheduler to 'none', cleaning up the data associated with
the previous scheduler. We'll switch back once we're done updating
the new sw to hw queue mappings.

I don't hate this, but I also find it pretty annoying to put local state
into the queue itself. It would be much nicer _not_ to have ->elv_type
in the queue itself. That would need an allocation, however...

Apart from those two things, looks fine to me.
