Now that all drivers that call blk_mq_complete_requests have a
-&gt;complete callback we can remove the direct call to blk_mq_end_request,
as well as the error argument to blk_mq_complete_request.

<title>null_blk: Use blk_init_request_from_bio() instead of open-coding it</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch changes the behavior of the null_blk driver for the
LightNVM mode as follows:
* REQ_FAILFAST_MASK is set for read-ahead requests.
* If no I/O priority has been set in the bio, the I/O priority is
  copied from the I/O context.
* The rq_disk member is initialized if bio-&gt;bi_bdev != NULL.
* req-&gt;errors is initialized to zero.

This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk
will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always
needs to block in its -&gt;queue_rq() function.  The intent is to help find
regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist.

If null_blk is loaded with submit_queues &gt; 1 and blocking=1, this
shows the regression recently fixed by bf4907c05e61.

<title>block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

<title>lightnvm: use end_io callback instead of instance</title>

<content type='text'>
When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the
target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which
target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double"
end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target
instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need
for this, and a single end_io callback will do.

The number of configuration groups has been limited to one in current
code, even if there is support for up to four. With the introduction
of the open-channel SSD 1.3 specification, only a single
group is exposed onwards. Reflect this in the nvm_id structure.

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.
