Except for SCSI no device drivers distinguish between physical and
hardware segment limits. Consolidate the two into a single segment
limit.

The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_<limit name>.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.
Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

pd/pf/pcd have track in-flight request by pd/pf/pcd_req. They can be
converted to dequeueing model by updating fetching and completion
paths. Convert them.
Note that removal of elv_next_request() call from pf_next_buf()
doesn't make any functional difference. The path is traveled only
during partial completion of a request and elv_next_request() call
must return the same request anyway.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.
* There aren't too many users left.
* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
[__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...
* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

pd_special_command uses blk_put_request with struct request on the
stack. As a result, blk_put_request needs a hack to catch a NULL
request_queue. This converts pd_special_command to use
blk_execute_rq.

Any path needs to call it to initialize the request.
This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to
initialize the request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset()
will not work).
