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.
