[dm-devel] [PATCH V3 03/13] block: add helper of blk_create_io_context

Add one helper for creating io context and prepare for supporting
efficient bio based io poll.

Meantime move the code of creating io_context before checking bio's
REQ_HIPRI flag because the following patch may change to clear REQ_HIPRI
if io_context can't be created.
