All .rw_page() callers pass an enum req_op value as last argument. Make
this explicit by changing the type of the last argument into enum req_op.

If brd_alloc() from brd_probe() is called before brd_alloc() from
brd_init() is called, module loading will fail with -EEXIST error.
To close this race, call __register_blkdev() just before leaving
brd_init().

Then, we can remove brd_devices_mutex mutex, for brd_device list
will no longer be accessed concurrently.

All modern drivers can support extra partitions using the extended
dev_t.  In fact except for the ioctl method drivers never even see
partitions in normal operation.

So remove the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT and allow extra partitions for all
block devices that do support partitions, and require those that
do not support partitions to explicit disallow them using
GENHD_FL_NO_PART.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

 - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
 - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
   separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
 - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
   support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
 - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
   be removed entirely.

As with commit 8b52d8be86d72308 ("loop: reorder loop_exit"),
unregister_blkdev() needs to be called first in order to avoid calling
brd_alloc() from brd_probe() after brd_del_one() from brd_exit(). Then,
we can avoid holding global mutex during add_disk()/del_gendisk() as with
