This makes moves the knowledge about bouncing out of the callers into the
block core (just like we do for the normal I/O path), and allows to unexport
blk_queue_bounce.

Since commit 23688bf4f830 ("block: ensure to split after potentially
bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before*
blk_queue_split().
This means that:
 1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are
    irrelevant, and
 2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be
    split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the
    possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL
    will be dereferenced.

Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio
being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a
deadlock.

So:
 - allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for
   splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios.
 - add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES.
 - Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split()

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

 "This is a bit bigger than it should be, but I could (did) not want to
  send it off last week due to both wanting extra testing, and expecting
  a fix for the bounce regression as well.  In any case, this contains:

   - Fix for the blk-merge.c compilation warning on gcc 5.x from me.

   - A set of back/front SG gap merge fixes, from me and from Sagi.
     This ensures that we honor SG gapping for integrity payloads as
     well.

   - Two small fixes for null_blk from Matias, fixing a leak and a
     capacity propagation issue.

   - A blkcg fix from Tejun, fixing a NULL dereference.

   - A fast clone optimization from Ming, fixing a performance
     regression since the arbitrarily sized bio's were introduced.

   - Also from Ming, a regression fix for bouncing IOs"

<content type='text'>
When bio bounce is involved, one new bio and its biovecs are
cloned from the comming bio, which can be one fast-cloned bio
from upper layer(such as dm).

So it is obviously wrong to assume the start index of the coming(
original) bio's io vector is zero, which can be any value between
0 and (bi_max_vecs - 1), especially in case of bio split.

This patch fixes Fedora's booting oops on i386, often with the
following kernel log together:

&gt; [    9.026738] systemd[1]: Switching root.
&gt; [    9.036467] systemd-journald[149]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1

Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.

It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
already handle those separately.
