We never checked for errors on add_disk() as this function
returned void. Now that this is fixed, use the shiny new
error handling.

<content type='text'>
struct io_comp_batch contains a list head and a completion handler, which
will allow completions to more effciently completed batches of IO.

For now, no functional changes in this patch, we just define the
io_comp_batch structure and add the argument to the file_operations iopoll
handler.

sysfs_emit function was added to be aware of the PAGE_SIZE maximum of
the temporary buffer used for outputting sysfs content, so there is no

   - Several series for the hns driver, more HIP09 HW capabilities,
     migration to new HW register manipulators, and code cleanups

   - Minor fixes and improvements in srp, rts, and cm

   - Improvements throughout for sysfs related code to use
     DEVICE_ATTR_*, make the ib_port sysfs first-class, and overall use

With fast memory registration on write request, rnbd-clt
can do bigger IO without split. rnbd-clt now can query
rtrs-clt to get the max_segments, instead of using
BMAX_SEGMENTS.

BMAX_SEGMENTS is not longer needed, so remove it.

The IO performance test with fio after removing the likely and
unlikely macros in all if-statement shows no performance drop.
They do not help for the performance of rnbd.

The fio test did random read on 32 rnbd devices and 64 processes.
Test environment:
- AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6386 SE
- 125G memory
- kernel version: 5.4.86
- gcc version: gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0
- Infiniband controller: InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT26428

-----------
average: IOPS=556k, BW=2173MiB/s

The IOPS and bandwidth got better slightly after removing
likely/unlikely. (IOPS= +1.8% BW= +1.9%) But we cannot make sure
that removing the likely/unlikely help the performance because it
depends on various situations. We only make sure that removing the
likely/unlikely does not drop the performance.

The IOPS and bandwidth got better slightly after removing
likely/unlikely. (IOPS= +1.8% BW= +1.9%) But we cannot make sure
that removing the likely/unlikely help the performance because it
depends on various situations. We only make sure that removing the
likely/unlikely does not drop the performance.
