[PATCH 2/3] block cleanups: Add kconfig default iosched submenu

[Nate Diller <nate@namesys.com>]

Add a kconfig submenu to select the default I/O scheduler, in case anticipatory is not compiled 
in or another default is preferred.  Also, since no-op is always available, we should use it 
whenever the selected default is not.

I saw a patch recently to add this option, and I don't think it got picked up.  This version is 
cleaner, since it eliminates all the #ifdef's in the code itself.

Thanks

NATE
