Simplify the code a lot by killing the superflous struct se_subsystem_dev.
Instead se_device is allocated early on by the backend driver, which allocates
it as part of its own per-device structure, borrowing the scheme that is for
example used for inode allocation.

Adds a parameter so read-only block devices may be registered as
LIO backstores.

We can use struct se_cmd for everything it did.  Make sure to pass the S/G
list and data direction to the execution function to ease adding back BIDI
support later on.

There is no real limit for task sizes in the iblock driver given that we
can chain bios.  Increase the maximum size to UINT_MAX, and change the
code to submit bios in a smaller batch size to avoid deadlocks when
having more bios in flight than the pool supports.  Also increase the
pool size to always allow multiple tasks to be in flight.

I also had to change the task refcounting to include one reference for
the submission task, which is a standard practice in this kind of code
in Linux (e.g. XFS I/O submission).  This was wrong before, but couldn't
be hit easily.

There is no reason to allocate a struct just to store the host number for
a debug printk in the detach path.  I've simply removed the verbose
debugging given that the calling code thinks the number passed in is
something different from a host ID anyway.

The most commonly used file, iblock and rd backends have no use for
a per-task CDB and thus don't need a method to copy it into their
otherwise unused CDB fields.

Move the entirely bio allocation, mapping and submission into -&gt;do_task.
This

 a) avoids blocking the I/O submission thread unessecarily, and
 b) simplifies the code greatly

This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
changes.  This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!

These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.

target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
target: Remove direct ramdisk code
target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().
target: Remove custom debug macros in mainline fabrics
target: Set WSNZ=1 in block limits VPD. Abort if WRITE_SAME sectors = 0
target: Remove transport do_se_mem_map callback
target: Further simplify transport_free_pages
target: Redo task allocation return value handling
target: Remove extra parentheses
target: change alloc_task call to take *cdb, not *cmd

(nab: Fix bogus struct file assignments in fd_do_readv and fd_do_writev)
