For the synchronous I/O path case (read(), write() etc system calls), a
BIO I/O priority is not initialized until the execution of
blk_init_request_from_bio() when the BIO is submitted and a request
initialized for the BIO execution. This is due to the ki_ioprio field of
the struct kiocb defined on stack being always initialized to
IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, regardless of the calling process I/O context ioprio
value set with ioprio_set(). This late initialization can result in the
BIO being merged to pending requests even when the I/O priorities
differ.

Fix this by initializing the ki_iopriority field of on stack struct
kiocb using the get_current_ioprio() helper, ensuring that all BIOs
allocated and submitted for the system call execution see the correct
intended I/O priority early. With this, since a BIO I/O priority is
always set to the intended effective value for both the sync and async
path, blk_init_request_from_bio() can be simplified.
