o So far noop, deadline and AS had one common structure called *_data which
contained both the queue information where requests are queued and also
common data used for scheduling. This patch breaks down this common
structure in two parts, *_queue and *_data. This is along the lines of
cfq where all the reuquests are queued in queue and common data and tunables
are part of data.

o It does not change the functionality but this re-organization helps once
noop, deadline and AS are changed to use hierarchical fair queuing.

o looks like queue_empty function is not required and we can check for
q->nr_sorted in elevator layer to see if ioscheduler queues are empty or
not.
