Merge branch 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
 "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9.  It was delayed a few days
  since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into
  current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide
  by zero, will report separately).  In any case, it contains:

   - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek.

   - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.

   - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug
     flushing.

   - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using
     io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait
     properly.

   - Various little fixes.

  You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to
  fix up"

Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit
b67bfe0d42: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators").
