This is a helper that pins down a range from an iov_iter and adds it to
a bio without requiring a separate memory allocation for the page array.
It will be used for upcoming direct I/O implementations for block devices
and iomap based file systems.

[hch: ported to the iov_iter interface, renamed and added comments.
All blame should be directed to me and all fame should go to Kent

Add wbc_to_write_flags(), which returns the write modifier flags to use,
based on a struct writeback_control. No functional changes in this
patch, but it prepares us for factoring other wbc fields for write type.

This adds a new request flag, REQ_BACKGROUND, that callers can use to

It's only needed for the CONFIG_SWAP-only use of bio_end_io_t.
Because CONFIG_SWAP implies CONFIG_BLOCK this will allow to drop some
ifdefs in blk_types.h.
Instead we'll need to add a few explicit includes that were implicit
before, though.

Remove the WRITE_* and READ_SYNC wrappers, and just use the flags

Noidle should be the default for writes as seen by all the compounds
definitions in fs.h using it. In fact only direct I/O really should
be using NODILE, so turn the whole flag around to get the defaults
right, which will make our life much easier especially onces the
WRITE_* defines go away.
This assumes all the existing "raw" users of REQ_SYNC for writes
want noidle behavior, which seems to be spot on from a quick audit.

Currently the block layer op_is_write, bio_data_dir and rq_data_dir
helper treat every operation that is not a READ as a data out operation.
This worked surprisingly long, but the new REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation
actually adds a second operation that reads data from the device.
Surprisingly nothing critical relied on this direction, but this might
be a good opportunity to properly fix this issue up.
We take a little inspiration and use the least significant bit of the
operation number to encode the data direction, which just requires us
to renumber the operations to fix this scheme.

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.
In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.
Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.
This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.
