gcc 7.1 reports the following warning:

    block/elevator.c: In function ‘elv_register’:
    block/elevator.c:898:5: warning: ‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=]
         "%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name);
         ^~~~~~~~~~
    block/elevator.c:897:3: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 7 and 22 bytes into a destination of size 21
       snprintf(e->icq_cache_name, sizeof(e->icq_cache_name),
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         "%s_io_cq", e->elevator_name);
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bug is that the name of the icq_cache is 6 characters longer than
the elevator name, but only ELV_NAME_MAX + 5 characters were reserved
for it --- so in the case of a maximum-length elevator name, the 'q'
character in "_io_cq" would be truncated by snprintf().  Fix it by
reserving ELV_NAME_MAX + 6 characters instead.
