The block layer tries to align bio vectors to the block device's logical
block size. Some cases don't have a block device, or we may need to
align to something larger, which we can't derive it from the queue
limits. Have the caller specify what they want, or allow any length
alignment if nothing was specified. Since the most common use case
relies on the block device's limits, a helper function is provided.

We're already iterating every segment, so check these for a valid IO
lengths at the same time. Individual segment lengths will not be checked
on passthrough commands. The read/write command segments must be sized
to the dma alignment.

Bios are embedded into other structures, and at least spare is unhappy
about embedding structures with variable sized arrays. There's no
real need to the array anyway, we can replace it with a helper pointing
to the memory just behind the bio, and with the previous cleanups there
is very few site doing anything special with it.

It is possible for physically contiguous folios to have discontiguous
struct pages if SPARSEMEM is enabled and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is not.
This is correctly handled by folio_page_idx(), so remove this open-coded
implementation.

The REPORT ZONES buffer size is currently limited by the HBA's maximum
segment count to ensure the buffer can be mapped. However, the block
layer further limits the number of iovec entries to 1024 when allocating
a bio.
To avoid allocation of buffers too large to be mapped, further restrict
the maximum buffer size to BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.
Replace the UIO_MAXIOV symbolic name with the more contextually
appropriate BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

Many of the fields in struct bio_integrity_payload are only needed for
the default integrity buffer in the block layer, and the variable
sized array at the end of the structure makes it very hard to embed
into caller allocated structures.
Reduce struct bio_integrity_payload to the minimal structure needed in
common code and create two separate containing structures for the
automatically generated payload and the caller allocated payload.
The latter is a simple wrapper for struct bio_integrity_payload and
the bvecs, while the former contains the additional fields moved out
of struct bio_integrity_payload.
Always use a dedicated mempool for automatic integrity metadata
instead of depending on bio_set that is submitter controlled and thus
often doesn't have the mempool initialized and stop using mempools for
the submitter buffers as they aren't in the NOIO I/O submission path
where we need to guarantee forward progress.

Lift bio_split_rw_at into blk_rq_append_bio so that it validates the
hardware limits. With this all passthrough callers can simply add
bio_add_page to build the bio and delay checking for exceeding of limits
to this point instead of doing it for each page.
While this looks like adding a new expensive loop over all bio_vecs,
blk_rq_append_bio is already doing that just to counter the number of
segments.

This is only used by the nvmet zns passthrough code, which can trivially
just use bio_add_pc_page and do the sanity check for the max zone append
limit itself.
All future zoned file systems should follow the btrfs lead and let the
upper layers fill up bios unlimited by hardware constraints and split
them to the limits in the I/O submission handler.

The current setup with bio_may_exceed_limit and __bio_split_to_limits
is a bit of a mess.
Change it so that __bio_split_to_limits does all the work and is just
a variant of bio_split_to_limits that returns nr_segs. This is done
by inlining it and instead have the various bio_split_* helpers directly
submit the potentially split bios.
To support btrfs, the rw version has a lower level helper split out
that just returns the offset to split. This turns out to nicely clean
up the btrfs flow as well.
